  			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
