C                  F              C
When you were only friendly on my mind
 
                 G7               C          
Before your love became my way of life
 
                       F                C
You knew that it would rain on down the line

                         G7         C
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye


F                                 C    
Why did you keep putting off your leaving 

                                        G7               
When staying was the last thing on your mind 

    C                  F                   C 
You could have turned around and spared my feelings
 
                         G7         C
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye


                      F                C
What made you give my love a chance to live 

                    G7           C     
Just long enough to be afraid to die
 
                  F                   C 
You knew I wanted more than you would give
 
                         G7         C  
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye 


F                                 C    
Why did you keep putting off your leaving 

                                        G7               
When staying was the last thing on your mind 

    C                  F                   C
