  			They D tell me D7 that 
You're G goin' a-{D} way 
What makes you want to A7 leave 
You D gave me your D7 love 
You G gave me your D vow 
Now you're leavin' me A7 here to D grieve. 
 
CHORUS 
D Live and let D7 live 
Don't G break my D heart 
Don't leave me here to A7 cry 
I D never could D7 live 
If G we should D part 
So, tell me you A7 don't mean good-{D} bye. 
 
Stayed awake last night and I walked the floor 
What makes you grieve me so? 
Live and let live, don't break my heart 
I don't want-a live if you go. 
 
CHORUS 
                    
Additional Verse: 
You're the one who made me love you so 
You're the one who's makin' me cry 
You're the one who'd break my heart if you go 
Tell me you don't mean goodbye.
