                   E
I come here as a friend
                        A
Though I don't really know you
                            B
I know you're in love with him
                    E
and he's made your world brand new

I know you think he loves you
And he may believe it too
Pour some coffee and I'll tell you
What you'll soon be going through

Chorus:
E        A
When he leaves you
                                 E
It's gonna more than break your heart
          B
When he leaves you
                             E
It's gonna tear your world apart
                                A
And you're gonna cry a million teardrops
                          E
one for every shattered dream
         B                                 E
when he leaves you and comes back home to me.

I've known him all these years
Honey, this time's not the first time
I've paid for loving him with tears
And when it's over, he'll be mine
I can see that I've upset you
I guess I'm a fool to try and help
When it comes to hearts and heartache
You gotta find out for yourself

Chorus

When he leaves you
And comes back home to me
