Verse 1:
Ab5 C5
It's so hard for me to say
F5 Bb5
The things I really feel
Eb5 Ab5
If I could I'd chase away
C5 F5
The pain your eyes reveal
C5 F5
The pain your eyes reveal
C5 F5
From foolish things I've done
C5 F5
The times that I let you down
C5 C#5 Ab5
And I'll never change, believe me I try
C#5 Ab5
If you go away, you know that I'll die

Oh I love you, please don't say goodbye

Verse 2:
We've had bad times
Through the years
And though I've made you cry
Think of me through tender tears
And try to close your eyes
And try to close your eyes
To thoughtless things I do
The dreams that don't come true
'Cause I'll never change, believe me I try
If you go away, you know that I'll die
Oh I need you, please don't say goodbye
[repeat chorus]
