                  Verse 1: 
    G 
    Sorry for making you cry,     
    D 
    For turning away as you walk on by, 
    C 
    But baby I need to be strong and 
    G                    D 
    I need to move on with my life. 
 
    Verse 2: 
    G 
    You know it?s not that I don?t care, 
    D 
    So don?t make me feel bad, it?s not fair, 
    C 
    Baby you know all the reasons, 
    G                    D 
    I made my decision in life. 
 
    Pre- Chorus: 
    C            D                G              Em 
    Now a girl?s gotta do what a girl?s gotta do, and a boy has to become a man, 
    C                 G                         D             
    And I?m sorry for saying but it?s love that I need, and that love I just can?t get  
    D 
from you. 
 
Chorus: 
G  
It?s funny how things turn around, 
Em 
One day I am lost, then I?m found, 
C 
It happened so fast, 
C 
I knew it would last, 
G                    D 
From the first time I first looked in her eyes. 
 
G  
Although It?s so soon this I know 
Em 
I?ll never be on my own 
C 
As dream turn to tears, 
C 
She buries my fears, 
G            D 
Cherish this lover ever more. 
 
Verse 3: 
    G 
    You know it?s not easy to do, 
    D 
    Turning my back, on me and you, 
    C 
    But baby I need someone there, 
    G                    D 
    Who will love me and care for life. (Background sound: Someone who cares for me) 
 
    Verse 4: 
    G 
    Smile they turned into tears, 
    D 
    And all of my dreams, 
    C 
    They all disappeared, 
    G                                        D 
    Baby this cannot be right so I?ll turn down the light on our love. 
 
    Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus 
 
    Bridge: 
    C                   D             G              C 
    And everything that could go wrong has gone wrong at sometime, 
    Am                C 
    Now I can see the light it was love at first sight, 
    D                D (with a heavy ?Bump?) 
And I?m not gonna let this girl go. 
     
    Repeat Chorus 
 
    G  
    With you
