The Grass Roots aka simply Grass Roots, were a hugely successful pop rock group that despite charting 29 Top 100 singles from 1967 to 1972 and being on the Billboard charts an astounding 307 straight weeks during that time, never quite had a number 1 single.

DG Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin' DA It's all over now, no use in stallin' DG The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you DA This time I'll even open the door for you DD7 You walked out when I was down G Well now I'm well off E7A And look who's comin' round
Chorus:
DG Where were you when I needed you DA Where were you when I wanted you DG Where were you when I needed you CaddD G/B G/A G [as per intro] Where..ere...ere
Verse 2:
You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it But no use explainin', I've already decided That livin' with you, it's worse than without you I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you Oh, things got rough and you disappeared Now I'm back on my feet But look, look who's standing there
Oh, you were so young, and you were so wild I knew you were nobody's innocent child That first day I saw you, you really got to me I thought I could change you, what good did it do me Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait Now you're tripping back But babe, it's too late
