C             A#                     C             A#
I don't know why I thought that you could make me happy
C              A#                 C      A#
These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah
C             A#                    C              A#
I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere
C                     A#                         F
But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door
            D
And now I know you don't care

Chorus:
Gm                  D#         D
I know you're gonna take your love and run
Gm          D#            D
I know you think I'm the foolish one
Gm                  D#               D       C A# 4x
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye

I used to think you were my pretty angel coming down
Well now you've just proven me wrong
What about the letters we have written
All the things we've said and done
I'll just stand here while you count
the battles you have won

Chorus:
Gm                  D#         D
I know you're gonna take your love and run

I know you think I'm the foolish one

I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I Know it

                    D      A#
But I'm not gonna cry for you
         E                        C
'Cause that's what you want me to do

No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

I know you're gonna take your love and run
Gm          D#            D
I know you think I'm the foolish one
Gm                  D#               D      Gm
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I Know it

Gm                  D#      D
Take your love and run from me
   Gm                      D#       D
Is this the way love's supposed to be
Gm                  D#      D
You don't think that I can see

Gm
But you can't fool me
                       D      A#
'cause I'm not gonna cry for you
         E                         C
'Cause that's what you want me to do
                   F      D     Gm
No I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I know it
I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I know it

Take your love and run from me
'Cause it's the way love's supposed to be
You don't think that I can see
