Capo 4

(Or Capo 1 and play

D = F

Em = Gm

A = Bb

G = C

D Em

The longer you wait to leave me

A D

The longer I'll hurt when you’re gone

D Em

And the longer it takes for you to break my heart

A D

The longer the pain lingers on

Chorus:

G A D

How long will you prolong my misery

A D

Wish I could leave on my own

D Em

Cause the longer you wait to leave me

A D

The longer I'll hurt when you’re gone

Solo

We both know that you never loved me

I lied to myself from the start

And we both know that some day you'll leave me

And the knowing just tears me apart

Chorus
