G D7 G
Dear heart there is something I must tell you
D7 G
Something sad and so hard for me to say
C G
For I know how much you always loved her
D7 G
And how you always hoped that she'd come back someday
D7 G
But day after day my hopes grow dimmer
D7 G
As I watched life and love passing me by
C G
And the life I live is empty and so lonely
D7 G
But you just lived for her and slowly let me die
C G
You know she left me for another
D7 G D7
So give her up let her go let it b-e
G D7 G C
Dear heart if you won't stop beating for h-er
G D7 G
Then dear heart stop beating for me
C G
You know she left me for another
D7 G D7
So give her up let her go let it b-e
G D7 G C
Dear heart if you won't stop beating for h-er
G D7 G
Then dear heart stop beating for me
