Ooh.

(A7sus)How can you just (Am7)walk a way (Bm7)from me,

when all (C)I can do is watch you leave?

’Cause we’ve (F)shared the laugh ter and the pain, and (Em7)e ven shared the tears.

You’re the (Dm7)on ly one who real ly knew me at all.

So take a look at me now,

well, there’s just an (D7)emp ty space,

and there’s noth ing (Am7)left here to re mind me, just a mem ’ry of your face.

Ooh, take a look at me now,

well, there’s just an (D7)emp ty space,

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

I (A7sus)wish I could just (Am7)make you turn (Bm7)a round,

when all (C)turn a round and see me cry.

You’re the (Dm7)on ly one who real ly knew me at all.

So take a look at me now,

well, there’s just an (D7)emp ty space,
