               G#
Watching the clock on the wall
        C#
Been a while since you called
   G#
I can't help but wait
      D#/G                 C#
It's late and I can't get no sleep
            G#
Somethings different this time
         C#
It just doesn't feel right
         Fm
Have we broken in two?
       D#                 C#
Am I really gonna lose you tonight?
     Fm
You come walking in
D#/G
Tears in your eyes
    G#               C#
Pretending like it's alright

Chorus:
                  G#
But I know youre leaving
             Fm
I know that smile
                         A#m
I can tell you've been crying
                D#sus4  D#
Youre gonna say goodbye
                 G#
I wish I could stop you
                         Fm
But you've made up your mind
                A#m
I beg you don't go
      Cm        D#         G#
But I already know you're leaving

       A
Where does the time go?
             D
Between goodbye and hello
         F#m                      E
How did we come to this is there something we missed
  D
Along the way
           F#m
With your bags at the door
        E/G#
I wanna pull you in close
     A                        D
And hold you once more even though

Chorus:
                  A
But I know youre leaving

I know that smile

I can tell you've been crying

I wish I could stop you

But you've made up your mind

I beg you don't go
      C#m       E           F#m
But I already know you're leaving

                D
Here come the sleepless nights
               C#m
Here come the tears I'm gonna cry
                D
Here comes the last goodbye leaving us behind
         E
Oh this can't be right

Chorus:
                  A#
But I know youre leaving

I know that smile
