              Intro - G - D - A 
 
 
(verse 1) 
       D           G        D                A 
As we pass in the hall she said we need to talk, 
G                                D - A - A7 
I can't go on like this another day, 
Em7             A           Em7              A 
I froze in my tracks and a chill went up my back, 
         Em7                A               
Cause I knew she was gonna say, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
           D               G         D            A  
She said there's someone else, I've kept it to myself, 
F#m                     Am7                 G 
But I can't keep these feelings locked up inside, 
       G                A         G                A    
And I need to tell you this It's one of your old friends, 
G                                A 
One you haven't talked to in a while she said, 
       G     A                              D 
I'm leaving,   and there's nothing you can do, 
                 G     Em7                    A - A7  
I said I had a feeling,   you found somebody new, 
A7                   G             A           A7       F#m  
And I'll bet I can guess his name but it's so hard to believe, 
                             Em7           A                A7 
Awe She said you aren't even close, it's someone you don't know, 
                    D 
I'm leaving you for me, 
 
 
(verse 3) 
         G                A 
I just stood there at a lost for words 
Em                   D 
Trying to catch my breath 
         G                                A 
Cause I knew that It's was over when she said 
 
 
(chorus) 
       G     A                              D 
I'm leaving,   and there's nothing you can do, 
                 G     Em7                    A - A7  
I said I had a feeling,   you found somebody new, 
A7                   G             A           A7       F#m  
And I'll bet I can guess his name but it's so hard to believe, 
                             Em7           A                A7 
Awe She said you aren't even close, it's someone you don't know, 
                    D 
I'm leaving you for me, 
              Em                       A                A7   
She said you aren't even close, it's someone you don't know, 
                D 
I'm leaving you   for me,
