🎸 Verse 1:
D           C                    G
I had never ever, ever hurt this way
    D              C               G
The pain is almost more than I can take
D           C                Em
I'd give anythin' for you to stay with me
                    Dsus4 D
And never say, "Goodbye"


🎸 Chorus:
        G           C

               Em7                C

🎸 Verse 2:
D            C                 G
I don't understand the rеasons why
    D             C              G
Was every "I love you" a lovеr's lie?
        D                C              Em
Please, tell me that you felt it at the time
                         D
And that what we had was real


🎸 Chorus:
        G           C
When my heart stops breakin'
        Em7        Dsus4 D
When my eyes won't cry
               Em7                C
When there's a day I can live without you, baby
        Am   C     G
It'll be the day I die

I have nothin' if I don't have you

When my eyes won't cry

Oh, it'll be the day I die
