Capo 3 
(D) The hardest thing I've ever done 
or (G) that I'll ever (D) do 
Was to just walk off and leave you 
but I (G) knew I had to leave (D)you 
'Cause I (G) couldn?t stay and (D) watch you  
Falling (A) out of love with (D) me 
 
The worst pain I've ever known 
or that I'll ever know 
Was to see your love dyin'  
and I had to watch it dyin' 
And I couldn't stand to watch you  
Falling out of love with me 
 
 	  

[Refrão]
It's (G) hurtin' (A) now but (D) still it's better 
I (G) left while (A) love was (D) still alive 
It (G) was (A) dying and (D) I'd rather 
I (G) didn't (A) have to watch it (D) die 
 
The deepest hurt I've ever felt 
or that I'll ever feel 
Was to know that I was losin'  
but I tried and I kept losin' 
And I couldn't stay and watch you  
Falling out of love with me 
 
The loneliest I've ever been 
or that I'll ever be 
Is now that I'm without you  
and I feel so lost without you 
But I couldn't stay and watch you  
Falling out of love with me 
 
Chorus 
It was dying and I'd rather 
I didn't have to watch it die
