[Intro:] [Am]H [Dm]ow [G]ca[x2]can I just let [Bm]you walk away
Just let you [C]leave without a [Dm]trace,
When I [F]s tand here [G]ta king [Em]every b reath [Am]with y ou, ooh.
You're the only [Dm]one [F]who really knew me [G]at all.
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave,
Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain,
And even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me [C]now
Cause there's just an empty [D]space,
And there's [Am]no thing left here to [F]re mind me,
Just the [Dm]me mory of [G]your face.
Oh take a look [G7]at me [C]n ow
Cause there's just an empty [D]s pace,
And you [Am]com ing back to me is against [F]the o dds,
And that's [Dm]what [G]I've got to [G7]fa ce.
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry,
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now
Cause there's just an empty space,
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face.
Oh take a look at me now
Cause there's just an empty space,
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do,
And that's what I've got to face.
Take a good look at me now
Cause I'll still be standing here,
And you coming back to me is against all odds,
It's the chance I've got to take
