Intro:

G  Am  C  G     Am  C  G


Verse 1:
G                            Am7
Please don't think about me, baby, when I'm gone
C                           G
 You know I won't be coming back
G
I know there's rights
  Am7
I know that there are wrongs
C                             G
 There's just feelings that I lack

Chorus:
Am7                          G
 I'm not saying I don't love you, you know I do
Am7                    Em    D G
 I'm saying I'll never change
                       Am7
And I would never even ask the same of you
C                     G
 That's how it must remain


Interlude:
G   Am7  C  G


Verse 2:
G
I could find the reasons, baby
Am7
Maybe I should stay
C                            G
 But not a one could hold me now
G
I'm lost there outside
        Am7
In that very lonely place
C                        G
 And there are no sacred vows


Chorus:
Am7                          G
 I'm not saying I don't love you, you know I do
Am7                    Em    D G
 I'm saying I'll never change
                       Am7
And I would never even ask the same of you
C                     G
 That's how it must remain


Guitar Solo:
Am7  G  Am7  Em7 D G
Am7  C  G


Verse 3:
G
You say you know me better
Am7
Than I know myself
C                           G
 You told me that a hundred times
                           Am7
It should be easy then for you to understand
C                       G
 Why I have to part the line


Out-Chorus:
Am7                          G
 I'm not saying I don't love you, you know I do
Am7                    Em    D G
 I'm saying I'll never change
                       Am7
And I would never even ask the same of you
C                     G
 That's how it must remain
                   Am7
I would never even ask the same of you
C                     G
 That's how it must remain
                   Am7
I would never even ask the same of you
C                     G
 That's how it must remain
