GWell I told you I was leavin' you a D7long time ago
But GI'm still here and I Cstill love you so
And I Gcan't leave no matter how D7hard I try
You Gknow I love you you D7know it's true
I Gjust can't leave you no Cmatter what you do
And I Gcan't go no matter how Chard I Gtry
It's D7shame oh shame you feel my pain Grunning D7round on Gme
But A7I lost my pride I'm still by your side
And D7that's where I want to be
Well Gmaybe you'll change and D7maybe you won't
But GI'll be here if you Cdo or if you don't

But A7why should I complain I love you just the same
And D7that's all I want to do
Well Gmaybe you'll change and D7maybe you won't
But GI'll be here if you Cdo or if you don't
Cause I Gcan't leave no matter how Chard I Gtry
