D                   G  
Well, my old friend  said to me 
             A               D 
that I ain't being what I'm suppose to be 
                   G 
Well, I don't know... it could be true 
          A            G                A   
I know I wasn't always there for you 
       D                        
And now you're ready to walk out 
G 
You're ready to run 
             A 
Talk to me, can't you see 
        G           A          G          A 
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done 
     D                         G 
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play 
                      A                G       A  G  A D   
don't let this be the reason you would walk away 
 
                    G  
The things you think that I should do 
             A             D 
I've never understood that part of you 
                    G 
You know I've tried to be a friend 
             A                  G      A G A 
But you feel undermined and hurt again 
     D 
Now, don't let it convince you 
G 
please don't take it to heart 
               A 
compromise and realize  
        G            A          G          A 
you can never really run everything you start 
     D                         G 
you can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play 
                      A                G       A  G  A  D 
don't let this be the reason you would walk away 
 
 
LEAD: 
   
D                   G  
And I guess I said I couldn't see 
                A               D 
how things could turn out like they've come to be 
               G 
And if I lied and if I knew 
             A             G            A 
Well I was only trying to think of you 
        D 
And now you're ready to walk out 
G 
You're ready to run 
            A  
Talk to me, can't you see 
        G           A          G          A 
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done 
     D                         G 
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play 
                      A                G        A  G  A D G 
don't let this be the reason you would walk away 
                       A                G        A   
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
