1. Watching the clock on the wall,

                   Em                   D

    been a while since you called,

        G

    I can't help but wait,

          Bm                                 C

    it's late and I can't get no sleep.

                          G

    Something’s different this time,

                C

    it just doesn't feel right.

                     Em

    Have we broken in two ?

               D                                  C

    Am I really gonna lose you tonight ?

            Em                       B7

    You come walking in, tears in your eyes,

          Em                      C

    pretending like it's alright.

 

                              G                              Em

But I know you’re leaving, I know that smile,

                                     Am                                           D

I can tell you've been crying, you’re gonna say goodbye.

                         G                                                   Em

I wish I could stop you, but you've made up your mind,

                           Am          Bm            D              G

I beg you, “Don't go ! but I already know you're leaving.
