written and recorded by Willie Nelson C F C G7 As you sit there in your loneliness confused as you must be F C G7 I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind C F C G7 And if you're wondering why I left you after all you've done for me F G7 C I guess you'll have to blame it on the times F C The many times you had your way no matter what the cost F C G7 And the many times you took for granted love you now have lost C F C G7 And if I've hurt you darling I don't mean to be unkind F G7 C I guess you'll have to blame it on the times F C G7 That small conceited world of yours could never understand F C G7 That to want to stand alone is not a crime C F C G7 And if for one time in my life I'm acting like a man F G7 C I guess you'll have to blame it on the times F C Blame it on the many times a hiding place I'd seek F C G7 Afraid to say what's on my mind and ashamed for being weak C F C G7 So if at last I'm seeing after so long being blind F G7 C I suppose you'll have to blame it on the times
