Walk on by

Just make believe
   Am                            Em
If you don't see the tears, just let me grieve

Walk on by
walk on by
     Em7
This foolish pride
   Am                       Em7
Is all that I have left, so let me hide
    F                         G
The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said: 'Good-bye-ye-ye  '

Now you know you gotta go so walk by  (no,no,no don't stop)
F                                      C                   Fmaj7
Make believe you never see the tears I cry (no,no,no don't stop)
