Tom: C

Intro: Dm - G    Dm - G
    Am                    Bm
1. How can I just let you walk away, 
                  C               Dm
    just let you leave without a trace,
             F                G                 Em   Am
    when I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh.
                Dm           F                 G
    You're the only one who really knew me at all.
     Am                    Bm
    How can you just walk away from me, 
             C                      Dm
    when all I can do is watch you leave,
                   F                  G                     
    'cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, 
         Em               Am
    and even shared the tears.
                Dm            F                 G  - G7
    You're the only one who really knew me at all.
                          C                           D
    So take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space,
                         Am              F
    and there's nothing left here to remind me,
               Dm              G
     just the memory of your face.
                G7         C                           D
   Ooh, take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space,
                    Am              F
    and you coming back to me is against the odds,
                 Dm               G     - G7
     and that's what I've got to face.
      Am                         Bm
2. I wish I could just make you turn around, 
     C                      Dm
    turn around and see me cry,
                F              G
    there's so much I need to say to you, 
       Em            Am
    so many reasons why.
               Dm            F                 G  - G7
    You're the only one who really knew me at all.
                          C                           D
    So take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space,
                        Am              F
    and there's nothing left here to remind me, 
              Dm              G
    just the memory of your face.
                 G7         C                           D
    Now, take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space,
           Am                         F
    but to wait for you, well that's all I can do,
                 Dm               G
     and that's what I've got to face.
                 G7         C                          D
    Take a good look at me now, 'cause I'll still be standing here,
                    Am              F
    and you coming back to me is against all odds,
               Dm                 G   - G7    Dm - G    Dm - G
    it's the chance I've got to take.
            G7         Dm    - G
    Take a look at me now
