  			D    A                            D 
Turn around, don't whisper out my name  
           A            G            D  
For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame  
          A                           D 
I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know  
    G              A                D 
But close the door lightly when you go  
G           A                 D 
Who was the one that stole my mind   
G           A                  D 
Who was the one that robbed my time   
G           A                     D 
Who was the one who made me feel unkind   
G                  A             D       
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine  
D         A                       D 
Take your tears to someone else's eyes  
                A 
They're made of glass  
        G                D 
And are cut like wounded lies  
   A                           D 
Memories are drifting like the snow  
    G             A                D 
So close the door lightly when you go  
G           A                 D 
Who was the one that stole my mind   
G           A                  D 
Who was the one that robbed my time   
G           A                     D 
Who was the one who made me feel unkind   
G                  A             D       
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine  
D          A                          D 
Don't look back to where you once hade been  
              A 
Look straight ahead  
            G                   D 
When you're walking through the rain  
           A 
And find a light  
A                         D 
If the path gets dark and cold  
   G               A                D 
But close the door lightly when you go  
G           A                 D 
Who was the one that stole my mind   
G           A                  D 
Who was the one that robbed my time   
G           A                     D 
Who was the one who made me feel unkind   
G                  A             D       
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine  
E    B                            E 
Turn around, don't whisper out my name  
           B            A            E  
For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame  
          B                           E 
I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know  
    A              B                E 
But close the door lightly when you go
