 half a measure _total_.]

C   F   G   G/E — G/D       C   F   G  G/E — G/D
[intro]

                     C                F        G
What have you got to say for yourself, now baby
G/E  —  G/D   C            F                    G
Now that I am leaving you, what have you got to lose
    G                   C                    F                 G
The truth you tried to keep from me, well it nearly drove me crazy
G/E — G/D    C        F                     G     G/E — G/D
I have grown weary of sleepless nights with you
E/B       E/B                 Am             Am/G
Is that a broken heart in the corner of your eye
F  F            G         G/E  G/F  G/F
   Something to remind me

                     C        F           G
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall
          G/E   —   G/D        C      F                 G
There are those who can't love right, I just can't love wrong
            G/E  —  G/D    C           F                G
When you're lonely in the night, how I hope you will recall
    G/E   —   G/D    C        F           G   G/E  G/F  G/F
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall

Though I will not forgive you for betraying the trust between us
Though I will always care for you, I've loved you half my life
And when I give my heart again, I know that I'll remember
Love is but a fragile flame, and trust just fuels the fire
When I think of all the years your love has taken from me
I can't believe I'm leaving you
