Not Her Fault

A                        D
  I packed my bags this morning
         A               E7
just as soon as she had gone
A                        D
  I could have told her yesterday
       E                    A     C#7
but I guess I'm not that strong - so I've
F#m             D
left a note to tell her
A                 E7
  I wanted to be free
A                   A/C# D
  She'll find it on the table
       E                    A
right beside my front door key

A E D/A


[Pre-chorus]

       C#             F#m
And I never meant to leave this way
       E                A
but I had to leave somehow
G#                  C#m
So tell her not to worry 'bout me,
    B7             D    E7
it doesn't matter no -- ow.


[Chorus 1]

     A               D/F#       D
And when she asks you why I've gone,
     A             E7
and why was I so cruel
A                 A/C# D
   Won't you make her understand
      E      Fdim   F#m    D
it's not her fault at all
A           E7       A
   Not her fault at all


[Middle 8]

A7               D
Tell her that I really tried
E                      A
but couldn't see it through
A7                 D
I'm sorry that I made her cry,
Bm                    E
but what else could I do?

[Pre-chorus 2]

       C#             F#m
And I never meant to leave this way
       E                A
but I had to leave somehow
G#                C#m
So tell her to forget about me,
    B7             D    E7
it doesn't matter no -- ow.


[Chorus 2]

     A               D/F#       D
And when she asks you why I've gone
A                E7
 after all this time
A                 A/C# D
   Won't you make her understand
      E       Fdim F#m  D
it's not her fault but mine
A           E7        A
   Not her fault but mine
