Intro:  A5  E5  F5  E5 

[Verse 1]
  A5                                 
And though you try to justify the meaning
  E5                                      
Of the note you sent this evening
  F5                              E5  
To my door, you're not deceiving me
  A5                                        
Well, I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
   E5                                  
Sending 'round an unsigned letter
   F5                            E5 
Facing me would be much better now

[Chorus]
    E5                      A5    G5    A5   
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
    E5                    A5
Can't you tell me to my face
    E5                       A5 G5  A5
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
    E5                           A5
How would you feel here in my place

[Verse 2]
And now I know my love is lost on you
And nothing you can say or do
Will turn my head around the other way
I'd have thought you'd have the decency to come and tell the truth to me
Instead of telling lies your eyes betray

[Chorus]
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place

Guitar Riff 2X

Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face you're leaving now

[Verse 3]
Though you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now

[Chorus]
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place

Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
