I know I told you I could take it 
  
C                         G7 
If you had to tell me goodbye 

C                                          F 
But you're leaving and I don't think I can make it  

C              G7           C 
Forgive me but I'm afraid I lied 



C                             F 
I am thankful for each stolen moment  

C                              G7 
And I promised that I wouldn't cry 

C                                    F 
But you're leaving and there goes my promise  

C              G7           C 
Forgive me but I'm afraid I lied 



F       G7      C 
We both knew it couldn't work out 
  
    F                              G7 
But we just had to try it for both sides 

C                        F 
We said anytime we could stop it 
  
C                      G7           C      F C 
Well maybe you can but I'm afraid I lied   I lied
