CAPO I


INTRO: G (once)

          C              Bb 
You don't love me, I can feel it
       F            C
No use tryin' to conceal that
         F               G          C     G        
You been fakin' feelin's for me too long

            C             Bb
So lay back baby, let the leavin'
         F            C
Find you any way but grievin'
         F                 G               C
When you face your future fortunes on your own


CHORUS:
            F
'Cause we'd both feel sad and sorry
       C
If the leavin's left alone
             F                             D7               G
'Cause we're too tired of tryin', and worn out from puttin' on
            F
And there's no use spendin' good times
        C
On some worn out alibi
          F                 G               C
When we'd both be left with livin' a lovin' lie


SOLO: C  Bb  F  C  F  G  C  G
      C  Bb  F  C  F  G  C

        C               Bb
So long baby, good luck to ya
         F                   C
Nothin' less that that would do ya
           F              G              C     G
That's the shortest way I know to say so long 

         C                    Bb
'Cause I believe that I'll be leavin'
         F                C
All your rights left to believe in
         F              G              C
On this early mornin' grievin' leavin' dawn


CHORUS


OUTRO: F  G  C
       F  G  C
