              Intro: 
 
 Db  Ebm7  (x2) 
 
 Verse: 
 
 Db             Ebm7 
You've been my life to me 
 
        Gbm7        Bbm7 
My very soul and my heart 
 
 Db                    Eb7 
But lately something's come over you 
 
         Gbm7       Bbm7  Bb7 
And it's tearing me apart 
 Ebm7                Gb/Ab 
Darlin', I feel you growing away from me 
                   Db 
More and more each day 
 
 Gb/Ab                  Db 
Whatever you want me to be, I'll be 
 
      Gbm7           Ebm7    Gb/Ab     Db 
If it keeps you from growing away from me 
 
 
 Verse 2: ("Even though you say..") 
 
 (Same Chords) 
 
 
 Chorus 2: 
 
 (Same Chords) 
 
 
 Bridge: (Now in the key of E Major) 
 
 E      A   F#m      B      E        A 
Believe me, I would let you go if I could 
 
F#m  B        E          B/D#           D     C#7 
But  I don't know if it's worse being lonely 
 
     F#m7                G#7 
Than having you here in body only 
 
 
 Verse 3: ("It's no use pretending..") 
 
 (Same Chords as previous verses, back in the original key of Db Major) 
 
 
 Chorus 3: 
 
 (Same)
