Intro G  G7M(9)  C/G  G7M(9)  G 

        G7M(9)           C/G    
Ever since that first night 
       G7M(9)              G   
When I gave my love to you 

( D/F#  C/E  D/F#  G ) 

        G7M(9)           C/G       
Everything just seems so right 
    G7M(9)                           G   
You are my sunlight, shining through 

( D/F#  C/E  D/F# ) 
( D  D#  Em ) 

                A             D       D/C  Em 
And I've tried so, not to let it show 
         A           D        D/C  Bm7  D/A  G 
Yet it seems sad, because I know 

           D          Am  D7  G 
No matter how hard I try 
           D          Am  D7 
No matter how hard I try 
    D7            G   G7M(9)  C/G  G7M(9)      
It's always a goodbye 

   G             G7M(9)           
You smile softly as you leave 
   C/G          G7M(9)              G    
My bed and I tightly hold your hand 

( G7M(9)  C/G  G7M(9)  G ) 

          G7M(9)           C/G    
You lean down to kiss my head 
       G7M(9)                   G  
But there's nothing to be said 

( G7M(9)  C/G  G7M(9) ) 
( D  D#  Em ) 

           A           D      D/C  Em 
And if you say you want to stay 
         A           D         D/C  Bm7  D/A  G 
I'd know you'd soon be on your way 

           D          Am  D7  G 
No matter how hard I try 
           D          Am  D7 
No matter how hard I try 
    D7            G   
It's always a goodbye 

( G7M(9)  C/G  G7M(9)  C ) 

             D7          G    C 
So here we stand, you and I 
         D7                G    
You are too kind, I'm too shy 
    G    Am    G/B    C  D7  Em    
To say what we really mean 
       A          D         D/C  Em 
So we make life a masquerade 
          A                 D         D/C  Bm7  D/A  G 
Never showing all, only the parts we play 

           D          Am  D7  G 
No matter how hard I try 
           D          Am  D7 
No matter how hard I try 
    D7            G   G7M(9)  C/G    
It's always a goodbye 
        G7M(9)        G 
It's always a goodbye 
           G7M(9)        C/G  G7M(9)  G   
(No matter how hard I try) 
           G7M(9)        C/G  G7M(9)  G  
(No matter how hard I try)
