When you act the way you do

Dm7Dm7    G+G    C majorC   E minorEm

I don't believe that I was the one to blame

  C majorC  G+G     C majorC      G+G C majorC
Any maybe next time you'll cry

When someone like me says good-bye
             G+G        Dm7Dm7
You'll wake up when she's gone and wonder
           G+G  Dm7Dm7
How you could let her go

But look at me, I'm going under
