Tom : A
| A | D | A ? E | A |
A D A
When you love somebody with all your heart and soul
E A
And you want to keep them with you, but you know they want to go
D A
What do you do, what do you say
E A
When you know they want to leave, as bad as you want them to stay
A D
And there's nothing quite as sad as a one-sided love
A E A
When one doesn't care at all and the other cares too much
D
It's a sad situation, I must say
A E A
When someone wants to leave, as bad as you want them to stay
[Instrumental]
| A | D | A ? E | A |
A D A
You know how much I love you, but I know you don't love me
E A
And I know it's just a matter of time before you leave
D A
But I do, I stand aside and just let you walk away
E A
But I know you want to leave, as bad as I want you to stay
A D
And there's nothing quite as sad as a one-sided love
A E A
When one doesn't love at all and the other loves too much
D
It's a sad situation I must say
A E A
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay
D
Oh, it's a sad situation I must say
A E A
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay
