Db  Db/C  Bbm    Db/Ab  Gb 
I   can't say    that   I don't love you today, 
Ab                          Db 
Even though, better it were so. 
    Db  Db/C  Bbm    Db/Ab  Gb 
And I   can't say    that   I don't want you to stay, 
Ab                                      Db 
Even though, well I know, best you go away. 


Db  Db/C  Bbm    Db/Ab  Gb 
Is  it    you,   or     just the number of years, 
Ab                     Db 
Thus makes my heart to break. 
Db  Db/C  Bbm    Db/Ab  Gb 
Is  it    sad,   or     just a number of tears? 
Ab                                              Db 
Who can know, but even so, tears their toll can take. 


F                     Bb 
Songs may say regret rien. 
Eb                     Ab 
Ah mais, je regret beaucoup, 
    Gb 
Too many times, too many days, 
                   Ab 
Too full of me and you. 


Db    Db/C     Bbm    Db/Ab     Gb 
Would though I could  know that time would deaden the pain, 
Ab                                Db 
For wise men surmise that this is so. 
         Db   Db/C  Bbm  Db/Ab  Gb 
And if I knew why   blue sky    turned one day into grey, 
Ab                                              Db 
Easier then, to touch your hand, turn and walk away. 


Db  Db/C  Bbm    Db/Ab  Gb 
Is  it    you,   or     just the number of years, 
Ab                     Db 
Thus makes my heart to break. 
    Db  Db/C  Bbm  Db/Ab  Gb 
And is  it    sad, or     just a number of tears, 
Ab                                              Db 
Who can know, but even so, tears their toll can take.
