[Intro]
B
What would you have me do
F#
Just turn and walk out on you
E
And leave you standing there
Pretending I don't care
B
When you know as well as I
F#
that would be nowhere
B
shouldn't I be with you
B
shouldn't I be with you
B
What would you have me say
F#
After I walk away
E
would it be the end
or just a second wind
B
for the good old song
F#
that we use to call pretending
B
shouldn't I be with you
B
shouldn't I be with you
Chorus:
F# E F# E
It's not the first time that you had me turn away
F# E
I don't know it won't be the last time
B F#
But you got to say it you got to
B
Should we make a brand new start
F#
or are you gonna break my heart
E
and leave me standing there
pretending I don't care
B
When you know as well as I
F#
that would get us nowhere
B
shouldn't I be with you
B
shouldn't I be with you
