              A 
I've heard all of your parting lines 
F#m 
Can only say goodbye so many times 
G           D   G                  D            A 
Before you know you have nothing to show for your pain 
Sorry is a word you just can't seem to find 
F#m 
Does it ever enter your mind? 
G      D         G           D    A 
I am in doubt that you are about to change 
 
  A                 G# G             D 
Now if your heart, your heart isn't in it 
 
                          Bm                D 
If you have nothing left to give, oh just let me live 
       A         G# G 
Live again, live again 
  F#m 
Again 
 
A 
You can't just say 'I love you' 
F#m 
You have to live 'I love you' 
G          D  G     D            A 
I will forgive every time but the 
Oh but the last 
 
(Refrão) 
 
                       Bm                            D 
If you have nothing left to give, oh won't you just go on and let me live 
 
E                            F#m            G                Bm 
I wish I could find a way to sing the life back into you and I 
E          F#m           G               E 
But now I am afraid that it is just too late to lie 
 
(Refrão) 
 
                       Bm                            D 
If you have nothing left to give, oh won't you just go on and let me live 
 
( A  G# G D ) (9x)
