Intro: C-D-G-Em-C-Am-

    Em7
   When you wake up
        C
   And find me gone tomorrow
         Am7
   Don't think I meant to hurt you
          Cm                 F7     G
   I just did what we knew I had to do, oh
      Bm7
   And all the time we knew
        Am7             Bm7
   But time was never right for us
            Am7                Bm7
   Time to leave this love behind
  Am7              Bm7
   I could never leave you
               D7
   Baby, if I see you cry

                 G-D/G,G    Em
   I'll say goodbye for the two of us
      Am7              G/B
   Tonight while you sleep
                  C               D7
   I'll kiss you softly one last time
                     G-D/G,G  Em
   And say goodbye like   I know we must
                Am7      G/B
   There's just no other way
                          Cdim            Em-Em/D
   And I couldn't bear to see your heart break
            C                   D              F-G
   So I'll wait till you're asleep to say goodbye

  Em7                C
   Just realize how hard it is to do this
        Am
   I'm tryin' to make it through this
          Cm                 F7     G
   Say goodbye just as gently as I can
         Bm7
   Please try and understand
          Am7                Bm7
   This time's just not the time for us
       Am7             Bm7
   We knew I couldn't stay
                            Am7       Bm7
   But that don't make it easier to leave you
                   D7
   So while I can find the strength

                  G-D/G,G    Em

   And say goodbye
  Am7           Bm7
   Before your arms embrace me

   Before your kisses take me
