Verse 1

C          Em      F               Dm
I know the way you touch me in the night
F                    G7
Laying closely by my side
C         Em              F              Dm
And I can see the way you look by candle light
F                            G7
Every time I try to close my eyes

Verse 2

F               G7
And know you're thinkin'
                          Am    G7
That it might be time for us to say
     F            Dm          G7
It's over when we hardly even try
    F                G7
But I don't know you well enough
F               G7
Everything I've given up
    F              G7       C
Not well enough to ever say goodbye

Verse 3

        F                 G7                 C
I don't know you when you tell me that you'd leave me
       F                Dm                 G7
Was it something that I said that made you cry
  F                     G7             C     Am G7
I guess there's lots of things I'm not seeing
F                G7             F   G7  C
I don't know you well enough to say goodbye

Verse 4

           Em                F                  Dm
I know the way you look when things ain't goin' right
F                              G7
There's things you never could disguise
C            Em                 F             Dm
And know you thought I’d rather let you go to fight
  F                            G7
I guess it's time we both apologize

Verse 5

F            G7                 C     G7     Am  G7
I just can’t let you say you’re goin’ when I know
F               Dm             G7
Knowin’ I still want you by my side
    F                G7
And I don't know you well enough
F                G7
To ever think of givin' up
    F              G7       C
Not well enough to ever say goodbye

Verse 3

        F                 G7                 C
I don't know you when you tell me that you'd leave me
       F                Dm                 G7
Was it something that I said that made you cry
  F                     G7             C     Am G7
I guess there's lots of things I'm not seeing
F                G7             F   G7  C
I don't know you well enough to say goodbye

Verse 6

    F                G7
But I don't know you well enough
F               G7
Everything I've given up
F                G7             F   G7  C
I don't know you well enough to say goodbye
