Lyrics

Can’t you (Eb)see I love (Bb7)you?

Please don’t (Eb)break my heart in two.

That’s not hard to do ’cause (Edim7)I (Bb7)don’t have a wood en (Eb)heart.

(Bb7)And if (Eb)you say good (Bb7)bye, then I (Eb)know that I would cry.

May be I would die ’cause (Edim7)I (Bb7)don’t have a wood en (Eb)heart.

There’s no (Bb7)strings

up on

this (Eb)love

of mine.

(Eb7)It was (Ab)al ways you from the (Eb)start.

Treat me (Eb)nice, treat me (Bb7)good, treat me (Eb)like you real ly should

’cause I’m not made of wood and (Edim7)I (Bb7)don’t have a wood en (Eb)heart.

Can’t you (Eb)see I love (Bb7)you?

Please don’t (Eb)break my heart in two.

That’s not hard to do ’cause (Edim7)I (Bb7)don’t have a wood en (Eb)heart.

(Bb7)And if (Eb)you say good (Bb7)bye, then I (Eb)know that I would cry.

May be I would die ’cause (Edim7)I (Bb7)don’t have a wood en (Eb)heart.

There’s no (Bb7)strings

up on

this (Eb)love

of mine.

(Eb7)It was (Ab)al ways you from the (Eb)start.

Treat me (Eb)nice, treat me (Bb7)good, treat me (Eb)like you real ly should

’cause I’m not made of wood and (Edim7)I (Bb7)don’t have a wood en (Eb)heart.

Can’t you (Eb)heart.
