 C                      Em
You don't have to say a word
Am                    F
I can see it in your eyes
C                        Em
I know what you want to say
Am                       F
It's so hard to say goodbye

       C
I can hold back my tears
     E/G#
and try to be strong
      Am                    A#
while our love is falling apart
    C                   Am/F#
I know what I'll say if you walk away

Chorus:
      F            G                   C
But what do I do what do I do with my heart

I'm not going to say a word
I know I can't change your mind
You know where you need to go
I know I'll be left behind
I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If you need to make a new start
But I still want to know
When my arms let you go

Chorus

Gm
Oh girl don't you remember
Cm                  Gm
It was not so long ago we were
                  Cm
making plans for two just me and you
Gm
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Cm
Someone who loves you better
F                         G
No one could ever love you the way I do

Tell me you're not leaving now
(Tell me you're not leaving)
Tell me that you're going to stay
(Please say you'll stay with me, baby)
Tell me that you love me still
(Say you love me still)
For this and this alone I pray
(Fall down on my knees and pray)

I'll do anything to save
what we had I'll love you till death do us part
But what do I do when
I'm still missing you

Chorus
