Lyrics

(Bbm7)How can I just let you walk a way, just let you (Db)leave with out a trace?

When I stand here tak ing ev ’ry breath with you.

Ooh.

You’re the (Ebm7)on ly one

who (Gb)real ly knew me at all.

(Bbm7)How can you just walk a way (Ab)from me

when all (Db)I can do is watch you leave,

’cos we’ve (Gb)shared the laugh ter and the pain and (Fm7)e ven shared the tears.

You’re the (Ebm7)on ly one who real (Gb)ly knew me at all.

So take a look at me now,

’cos there’s just an (Eb)emp ty space.

There’s no thing (Bbm7)left here to re mind me, just a mem ’ry of your face.

Oh, take a look at me now,

’cos there’s just an (Eb)emp ty space.

And you com ing back to me is a gainst the odds and that’s what I’ve got to face.

I I’ve got to face.

Take a good look at me now,

’cos I’ll still (Eb)be stand ing here.

And you com ing back to me is a gainst all odds, that’s the (Ebm7)chance I’ve got to take.

Chance I’ve got to take.

(Ab)Got to take.

Take a look at me now.

Take a look at me now.

Take a (Ab)look at me (Gb)now.
