[Verse 1]
CCan we maybe start over?
That's the last thing I Amtold her now
I can't sleep I'm wide awake in bed alFone somehow
You'll GSee me aroCund
In a Cdream you came over
And we made the move out Amwest
Then it got hazy when you said its for the besFt
But I, all I Gneed tonight is Cyou
[Chorus]
CIf I turn my back on everybody
AmBecause all the faith that I Ghad was already insFide me
I pray that someGbody shows some empathyC  
[Verse 2]
CIt's too late to say sorry
As the clock strikes 12:Am39
Careless Whisper plays in the background on this Fwinter night
I'm Gfar from fine
[Bridge]
CDon't let me down (don't let mAme down)
Please help me find the simple words to say to cFhange your mind
It's all I Gneed tonight (Cyeah)
[Chorus]
CIf I turned my back on everybody (turned my back on everyAmbody)
'Cause all the faith that I Ghad was already insiFde me
I'd pray that someGbody shows some empathyC  
[Bridge]
CDon't let me down (don't let mAme down)
Don't let me down
Help me find the Fsimple things that will let you know just Gwhat I mean
Don't let me Cdown
Don't let me AmdownG  
Help me find the Fsimple things that will let you know just Gwhat I mean
Just what I meanC  
[Chorus]
CIf I turned my back on everybody (turned my back on everyAmbody)
'Cause all the faith that I Ghad was already insiFde me

[Verse 1]

Can we maybe start over?

That's the last thing I told her now

I can't sleep I'm wide awake in bed alone somehow

G C

You'll See me around

In a dream you came over

And we made the move out west

Then it got hazy when you said its for the best

G C

But I, all I need tonight is you

[Chorus]

If I turn my back on everybody

Am G F

Because all the faith that I had was already inside me

G C

I pray that somebody shows some empathy

[Verse 2]

It's too late to say sorry

As the clock strikes 12:39

Careless Whisper plays in the background on this winter night

I'm far from fine

[Bridge]

C Am

Don't let me down (don't let me down)

Please help me find the simple words to say to change your mind

G C

It's all I need tonight (yeah)

[Chorus]

C Am

If I turned my back on everybody (turned my back on everybody)

G F

'Cause all the faith that I had was already inside me

G C

I'd pray that somebody shows some empathy

[Bridge]

C Am

Don't let me down (don't let me down)

Don't let me down

F G

Help me find the simple things that will let you know just what I mean

Don't let me down

Am G

Don't let me down

F G

Help me find the simple things that will let you know just what I mean

Just what I mean

[Chorus]

C Am

If I turned my back on everybody (turned my back on everybody)

G F

'Cause all the faith that I had was already inside me

I'd pray that somebody shows some empathy

C Am

If I turned my back on everybody (turned my back on everybody)

G F

'Cause all the faith that I had was already inside me

Am G C

I'd pray that somebody shows some empathy

Don't let me down
