Capo 1 

A                               D 
I'm so glad that you came by to see me 
A                                E 
But I'm afraid that I'm not much to see 
A                                            D 
But if those tears in your eyes are tears of pity 
A                        E             A 
Then it's best you don't shed them for me 


[Refrão]
 
          E                           A 
Save your tears for the ones who are livin' 
         E                                                          
It's too late for someone who has died 
         D                      A 
And this world of mine long ago ended 
A             E        A 
It ended when you said goodbye 


A                              D 
You tell me the children still miss me 
A                E 
And ask about me everyday 
A                              D 
I'd give all the world just to see them 
A                        E           A 
But it's best they don't see me this way 


[Refrão]

          E                           A 
Save your tears for the ones who are livin' 
         E                                                          
It's too late for someone who has died 
         D                      A 
And this world of mine long ago ended 
A             E        A 
It ended when you said goodbye
