Intro: Eb75+ | Eb75+

G#                   Eb
Games, changes and fears,
               Bbm7
When will they go from here,
When will they stop!
               G#
I believe that fate
                 Eb
Has brought us here
                   Bbm7
And we should be together, babe,
But we’re not.

  C#                         Cm7
   I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you.
  Bbm7                           Eb
   And I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiending.

Chorus:
                      G#
     I try to say goodbye and I choke,
                    Eb
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
                     Bbm7
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
              C#
     My world crumbles
                      Eb7sus4
     When you are not near.

         G#
     Goodbye and I choke,
                    Eb
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
                     Bbm7
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
              C#
     My world crumbles
                      Eb7sus4
     When you are not near.

I may appear to be free,
But I’m just a prisoner
Of your love.
And I may seem alright,
And smile when you leave,
But my smiles are just a front,
Just a front. Hey!

   I play it off but I’m dreaming of you.
   And I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiending.

Chorus:
     I try to say goodbye and I choke,
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
     My world crumbles
     When you are not near.

     Goodbye and I choke,
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
     My world crumbles
     When you are not near.

Bridge:
  Bmaj           Ebm7
   Here is my confession,
                    Bmaj
   May I be your possession?
                    Bbm7
   Boy, I need your touch,
                         F#7
   Your love, kisses and such.
                       Fm7
   With all my might I try,
                      Bbm7
   But this I can’t deny, deny.

  C#                          Cm7
   I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you,
   But I’m dreaming of you, babe.
  Bbm7                           Eb
   And I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiending.

Chorus:
       E              A
     I try to say goodbye and I choke,
                    E
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
                     Bm7
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
              D
     My world crumbles
                      E7sus4
     When you are not near.

         A
     Goodbye and I choke,
                    E
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
                     Bm7
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
              D
     My world crumbles
                      E7sus4
     When you are not near.

         A
     Goodbye and I choke,
                    E
     I try to walk away and I stumble.
                     Bm7
     Though I try to hide it, it’s clear,
              D
     My world crumbles
                      E7sus4
     When you are not near.
