Lyrics

I could hard ly be lieve it when I (G)heard the news to day.

It’s just I (Fm)had to come and get it straight from (C)you.

They said you are leav in’, some one’s (G)swept your heart a way; the from the (G)look up on your face I see it’s (G)true.

So (C)tell me all a bout it, tell me ’bout the plans you’re (C)mak in’.

(Dm7)Tell me one thing more be fore I (G)go.

Tell me (G)how am I sup posed to live with (Am7)out you,

(G)now that I’ve been lov in’ you so (C)long?

(G)How am I sup posed to live

with out you?

And (Fmaj7)how am I sup posed to car ry (F)on

when (F)all that I’ve been liv ing for is (G)gone?

I I’m too proud for cry ing, did n’t (G)come here to break down.

It’s just a (Fm)dream of mine is com in’ to an (C)end.

And how can I blame you when I (G)built my world a round the hope that (G)one day we’d be so much more than (G)friends?

So (C)I don’t want to know the price I’m gon na pay for (C)dream in’.

(Dm7)E ven now it’s more than I can (G)take.

Tell me (G)how am I sup posed to live with (Am7)out you,

(G)now that I’ve been lov in’ you so (C)long?

(G)How am I sup posed to live

with out you?

And (Fmaj7)how am I sup posed to car ry (F)on

when (F)all that I’ve been liv ing for is (G)gone?

(F)all that I’ve been liv ing for is (C)gone?

Now (F)all that I’ve been liv ing for is (G)gone?
