C G7
You say it’s better if we drift apart
C
Although you see that it’s breaking my heart
G7
How can you leave me so lonely and blue
C
Knowing just how I’ve been counting on you
G7
We once was so happy it all seems a shame
C
And do you feel like that I am to blame
G7
Dear if I failed you oh please tell me now
C
And then maybe we can patch it up somehow
G7
Now that I’ve lost you the whole world seems wrong
C
I don’t see how I can face it alone
G7
For I’ve tried so hard to do right by you
C
And really I cared for you more than I knew
G7
When I first met you I heard people say
C
That there’d come a time when you’d treat me this way
G7
I did not believe them I just let them rave
C
Determined to stick by you clear to the grave
G7
It would have been better had we never met
C
Then I would not have so much to forget
G7
If I’d only dreamed dear that there’d come this day
C
Five years I could have used better some way
C G7
You say it’s better if we drift apart
C
Although you see that it’s breaking my heart
G7
How can you leave me so lonely and blue
C
Knowing just how I’ve been counting on you
