G    Em    Am    D  D7
[Verse 1]
It was Ggood for me; it was good for you
EmNow nothing either of us can say or do
Can cAmhange the way you feel tonight
DSometimes love just sD7lips out of sight
GJust one thing before you go
EmJust one thing that you've got to know
AmNo one will ever touch me that way
The Dway that you did that D7very first day
[Chorus 1]
And GI will never be the sAmame without you here
I'll live alDone and hD7ide myself beGhind my tearsD  
No, GI will never be the sAmame without your love
I'll live alDone and tD7ry so hard to rGise aboveD  
[Verse 2]
The Gyears go by; there's always someone new
To Emtry and help me forget about you
AmTime and again it does me no good
DLove never feels the D7way that it should
I Gloved you then, I guess I'll love you forever
And Emeven though I know we could never stay together
I Amthink about how it could've been
If Dwe could just start all D7over again
[Chorus 1]
And GI will never be the sAmame without you here
I'll live alDone and hD7ide myself beGhind my tearsD  
No, GI will never be the sAmame without your love
I'll live alDone and tD7ry so hard to rGise above
