G Em         Am            Cm  D
I  don't have plans and schemes
    G Em         Am          Cm  D
And I  don't have hopes and dreams
G Em        Am    Cm    Am                 D
I  don't have anything since I don't have you

I don't have fond desires
I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

C                     G
I don't have happiness and
   Em  Am        D     G
I guess I never will again
C                        G             E7
When you walked out on me in came old misery
Am                         D
And he's been here since then

Now, I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you-ooh-ooh, (You) ooh-ooh
