It Doesn’t Matter Any More
Buddy Holly, Paul Anka, 1959· Songs Well-Known in America · p.175
G
There you go and baby, here am I.
D
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
G
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?
D7 G
I guess it doesn't matter any more
Do you remember baby, last September?
How you held me tight, each and every night
Well, oh baby, how you drove me crazy
I guess it doesn't matter any more
Chorus:
Em G
There's no use in me a-cryin'.
D7 G D7 G
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
A7
I've thrown away my nights,
A7 D7 | D7 | D7 | D7
Wasted all my days over you
G
Now you go your way and I'll go mine
D7
Now and forever till the end of time
G
I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through
D7 G
And you won't matter anymore (Chorus) (Repeat last verse)
D7 G
And you won't matter anymore
