I don’t blame you for I know you want him
          C7              F
That your love for me was never real
                 Bb        F
I could hold you but you’d be unhappy
         C7                            F
But it’s alright if that’s the way you feel

I know that I will always go on caring

And my feelings now I must conceal
  C7    F    Bb                 F
I still need you and I want you with me

But it’s alright if that’s the way you feel

I always knew some day I would lose you

When those lies about me were revealed
    D7    G      C              G
Its plain to see sweetheart you believe them
        C7                            F
But its alright if that’s the way you feel
