Am7How can I just let you waBm7lk away 
Just let you leC9ave without a trDm7ace
When I sFtand here taking evG/Fery breath with yEmou, oAmooh
You're the Dmonly one who really knew me at aGll
Am7How can you just walk aBm7way from me
When aC9ll I can do is watch you leDm7ave
Cause we sFhare the laughter G/Fand the pain, we eEmven shared the tAmears
                                        Dm7  G-G7  
You're the only one who really knew me at all 
Chorus
So take a look at me C/Gnow, there's just an eD/Cmpty space
And there's nothing lAmeft here to reFmind me
Just the meDmmory of your fG7ace
Take a look at me C/Gnow, there's just an eD/Gmpty space
And you coming bAmack to me is agFainst the odds
                            Dm  G-G7  
And that's what I've got to face
Am7I wish I could just make Bm7you turn around, C9turn around and see me Dm7cry
There's so mFuch I need to G/Fsay to you, Emso many reasons wAmhy
                                         Dm7  G-G7  
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Chorus
So take a look at me nC/Gow, there's just an emD/Cpty space
And there's nothing Amleft here to rFemind me
Just the mDmemory of your faG7ce
Take a look at me C/Gnow, there's just an eD/Gmpty space
But to wAmait for you, well that's Fall I can do
And that's wDMhat I've got to faG7ce
Take a good look at me nC/Gow
Cause I'll just be sD/Gtanding here
And you coming bAmack to me 
Is aFgainst all odds and that's a cDmhance I got to takG7e
Take a good look at me nCow.
