C                F                 C
You're so close to tellin' me you're leaving
C                                  G
Packin' up your things and leavin' town
C                F                C
If you can walk away the rest is easy
C                  G                   C
Once you cut the strings that tie you down


[Chorus]
F                                     C
Just look me in the eye and say it's over
C                               G
Just tell me you don't want me around
F                                 C
Once you say goodbye, it's gone forever
C                  G                   C
Once you cut the strings that tie you down


[Verse 2]
    C                F            C
There's no way I can picture me without you
C                                    G
I still think of you in your wedding gown
      C               F                C
If I have to give you up, may God be with you
C                  G                   C
Once you cut the strings that tie you down
