              C                  C7           F 
After you leave me after you're gone  
 
G7                               C 
I'll sit here crying so blue and alone 
 
                              C7             F 
And when the door closes I'll close my heart too 
  
          C        G7          C 
After you leave me what will I do 
 
 
F                      C 
After you've taken the beat of my heart 
  
F                    C         G7 
After you've torn my world all apart 
 
   C                      C7           F 
My life will be worthless here without you 
  
          C        G7          C 
After you leave me what will I do 
 
 
F                      C 
After you've taken the beat of my heart 
  
F                    C         G7 
After you've torn my world all apart 
 
   C                      C7           F 
My life will be worthless here without you  
 
          C        G7          C 
After you leave me what will I do
