Well, you called me up this morning, told me 'bout the new love you found 
           D                                                 E 
Said, "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you." 

Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round 
I guess it's over, baby It's really over, baby, woooh 

Bridge 

F#m                                                                                  A 
And from what you're saying, I know you've gotten over me 
C#7                  F#m    A       E 
  It'll never be the way it used to be 
Bm                         E 
  So if it's gotta be this way 
Bm                                               E 
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay 

           A                                                            D 
But if you see me walking by and the tears are in my eyes, 
      A    D           E 
Look away, baby, look away. 
           A                                                                      D 
If we meet on the street some day and I don't know what to say, 
      A    D           E 
Look away, baby, look away. 
      F#m                                 D    E   A 
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way. 

A     F#m     D     E 

When we both agreed as lovers 
We were better off as friends 
That's how it had to be, yeah, that's how it had to be 

I tell you I'm fine, but sometimes I just pretend 
Wish you were holding me, wish you were still holding me, oooh 

Bridge: 
I just never thought that I would be replaced so soon 
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you 
I know I wanted to be free 
Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be 

           A                                                            D 
But if you see me walking by and the tears are in my eyes, 
      A    D           E 
Look away, baby, look away. 
           A                                                                      D 
If we meet on the street some day and I don't know what to say, 
      A    D           E 
Look away, baby, look away. 
      F#m                                 D    E   A 
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way.
