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,
