Lyrics

My (C)life is far from o ver, time to (F)think a bout me.

I could (Dm)live a life with (Em)out you, but (Am)what kind of (Bm)life would that (Dsus)be?

(D)Part of (G)me

is (C)say ing I should (G)go.

May be that’s

what (Gsus)I

(G)should (D)do,

but (G)I

will (D)not

be (Gsus)leav (G)ing.

I’m hope less when it (D7)comes

to (G)you.

You can’t (G)stay

with (C)him, that’s what they’ll (G)say,

and their words

may (Gsus)well

ring (D)true.

But (D)they’ll

be fleet

ing (Gsus)feel (G)ings.

I’m (G)hope less when it (D7)comes

to (G)you.

You’re (Bm)bruised but you’re not (E7)brok en,

(Bm)there’ll be no more (E7)lies.

(Bm)We’ll go on to (E7)geth er,

(C)dry each (Em)oth er’s (Am7)eyes.

(CN.C.)This will (C)dry each (Em)oth er’s (Am7)eyes.

This will (G)make

us (C)clos er than be (G)fore.

Some times that’s

what (Gsus)pain

(G)can (D)do.

How (G)could

I (D)think

of (Gsus)leav (G)ing?

I’m hope less when it (D7)comes

to (G)you,

hope less when it (D7)comes

to (C)you.
