G                   C/G  G
Me I'm just running blind
G                         C/G        G
Can't give you advice you need this time
G                          C/G   G
You say of her, you can't decide
G                              C/G G
And yet you sit and watch her cry
Bm                                     Am
Friend you're like the wind that blows like the sea
Am             G C/G G
You come and go

Bm
Now I'm not trying to tell you
       Am
How I think that it should be
    Bm
I know deep down inside
             Am
That you're yearning to be free
           Bm
And you're only gonna think of number one
    Am
So what am I to say
    Bm                              C           D
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway

Chorus:
G                             D   C
When you know that your love has died
G                         Bm7 C
And you know how you feel inside
G                     D     C
You've got to face up and show
C            D        G         Bm7 C G C/G G
What you're feeling when you know

Your parting words will be so untrue
As long as it don't come down on you
And you're scared to lay it on the line
Ah just in case you change your mind

I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
'Cos I know deep down inside
That you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of No 1
So what am I to say
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway

Chorus:
When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
Well you gotta face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside,
someone's gotta lose
You gotta face up and show
What you're feeling when you know, yeah yeah

When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
Well you gotta face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside,
someone's gotta lose
You gotta face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside...
