Now We don’t e ven talk an y more.

And we don’t e ven (G)know what we (Am)ar gue a (G)bout.

Don’t e ven say, “I (G)love you,” no (Am)more,

’cause say in’ how we (G)feel is no (Am)long er al (G)lowed.

Some peo ple will work things out and some just don’t know how to (F#)change.

Let’s don’t (Fmaj7)wait till the (Em7)wa ter runs (Dm7)dry.

We might (Fmaj7)watch our whole (Em7)lives pass us (Dm7)by.

Let’s don’t (Fmaj7)wait till the (Em7)wa ter runs (Am)dry.

We’ll make the (Dm7)big gest mis (C)take of our (Fmaj7)lives.

Don’t do it, ba by.

Ooh.

Na ooh.

Now they can see the tears in our eyes,

but we de ny the (G)pain that lies (Am)deep in our (G)hearts.

Well, may be that’s a (G)pain we can’t (Am)hide,

’cause ev ’ry bod y (G)knows that we’re (Am)both torn a (G)part.

Why do ple we hurt each oth er?

Why do we push love a (F#)way?

Let’s don’t (Fmaj7)wait till the (Em7)wa ter runs (Dm7)dry.

We might (Fmaj7)watch our whole (Em7)lives pass us (Dm7)by.

Let’s don’t (Fmaj7)wait till the (Em7)wa ter runs (Am)dry.

We’ll make the (Dm7)big gest mis (C)take of our (Fmaj7)lives.

Don’t do it, ba by.
