         D#m
Well you know I'll always love you
        G#7
But it would have been a lie
   A#7
If I said that I could please you
       D#m
Every moment that I try
          G#7
Wouldn't want to see you crying
      D#                              A#7        D#m
So I hope you don't mind the things I say on the way

Well we've been traveling for a long time
And we've finally finished here
Though I said some things to hurt you
But it was only out of fear
Wouldn't want to see you crying
     D#                               A#7
So I hope you don't mind the things I say on the
 D#m  A#7  C#
way

Well, you know I'll always love you
Everything will be alright
If I know you don't mind the things I say
On the way

I know you don't mind the things I say
On the way
Well, you know I'll always love you
Everything will be okay
If I know you don't mind the things I say
On the way
