[Verse 1]
Am7             Dm7
  When I said,    needed you,
G7                      Cmaj7
    You said  you would always stay.
Fmaj7            F7*              Bm7*
  It wasn't me   who changed, but you.
E7                     E
  Now you've gone away.


[Verse 2]
Am7                   Dm7
  Don't you see  that now you've gone,
G7                    Cmaj7
  And I'm left   here on my own,
Fmaj7           F7*        Bm7*
  That I have   to  follow you,
F7                      E7
  And beg you   to come home...


[Chorus 1]
A*                Fm*
You don't have to say you love me
Bm7*            E*
 Just be close  at hand.
A7*               F#m7*
You don't have to stay forever,
Bm7*          E7*
 I will understand.
  A*           C#m*
Believe me,  believe me,
  F#m
I can't  help but love you.
      D*
But believe me,
Bm*             E7
I'll never tie  you  down.


[Verse 3]
Am7 / N.C.      Dm7
  Left alone     with just a memory,
G7                 Cmaj7
  Life seems dead     and so unreal.
Fmaj7              F7*      B*
  All that's left  is loneliness.
E7                      | E  A  D  E |
  There's nothing left to feel.


[Chorus 2]
A*                F#m*
You don't have to say you love me
Bm7*            E*
 Just be close  at hand.
A7*               F#m7*
You don't have to stay forever,
Bm7*          E7*
 I will understand.
  A*          C#m*
Believe me, believe me,
  F#m*
I can't   help but love you.
      D*
But believe me,
      Bm*        E7        | A A7 Asus2   C7 // |
I'll  never tie  you  down.
