[Dm] [G] [Am]How can I just let you [Bm]walk away Just let you [C]leave without a [Dm]trace, When I [F]stand here taking [G]every breath with [Em]you, [Am]ooh. You’re the [Dm]only one who [F]really knew me at [G]all. [Am]How can you just walk [Bm]away from me, When all [C]I can do is watch you [Dm]leave, Cause we’ve [F]shared the laughter [G]and the pain, And [Em]even shared the [Am]tears. You’re the [Dm]only one who [F]really knew me at [G]all. [G7]

So, take a look at me [C]now Cause there’s just an [D]empty space, And there’s [Am]nothing left here to [F]remind me, Just the [Dm]memory of your [G]face. Oh take a [G7]look at me [C]now Cause there’s just an [D]empty space, And you coming [Am]back to me is [F]against the odds, And that’s [Dm]what I’ve got to [G]face. [G7]

I [Am]wish I could just make you [Bm]turn around, [C]Turn around and see me [Dm]cry, There’s so [F]much I need to [G]say to you, So, [Em]many reasons [Am]why. You’re the [Dm]only one who [F]really knew me at [G]all. [G7]

So, take a look at me [C]now Cause there’s just an [D]empty space, And there’s [Am]nothing left here to [F]remind me, Just the [Dm]memory of your [G]face.

Oh take a [G7]look at me [C]now Cause there’s just an [D]empty space, But to [Am]wait for you, well that’s [F]all I can do, And that’s [Dm]what I’ve got to [G]face. Take a good [G7]look at me [C]now Cause I’ll still be [D]standing here, And you coming [Am]back to me is [F]against all odds, It’s the [Dm]chance I’ve got to [G]take [G7]

[Dm] [G] [Dm] [G] [G7]Take a [Dm]look at me [G]now.
