Tom:
D
We both know that I shouldn't be here
This is wrong
Em
And baby it's killing me
G
It's killing you
A
But both of us trying to be strong
D
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Em
Someone else who loves me
G A
And trusted me fast asleep
G
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
Em
She's been good to me
A G
And she deserves better than that
REFRÃO
D
It's the hardest thing
A
I'll ever have to do
Em
To look you in the eye
G
And tell you i don't love you
D
It's the hardest thing
A
I'll ever have to lie
Em
To show no emotion
G
When you start to cry
D
I can't let you see
A
What you mean to me
Em
When my hands are tied
[Refrão]
G
And my hearts not free
We're not meant to be
D
It's the hardest thing
A
I'll ever have to do
Em
To turn around and walk away
G
Pretending i don't love you
[Próxima Parte]
D
I know we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
Em
So you can get on with your life
G A
I've got to be cruel to be kind
D
Like Doctor Zhivago
A
All my love i'll be sending
Em
And you'll never know
G
'Cause there can be no happy ending
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you i don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let you see
What you mean to me
When my hands are tied
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to I can't stay
I've made up my mind
There's no turning back
She's been good to be
And she deserves better than me
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you i don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let you see
What you mean to me
When my hands are tied
[Refrão] (repetir)
