VERSE 1
G                 C              G
I don't blame you for I know you want him
          D                     G
That your love for me was never real
                 C             G
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy
             D                           G
But its all right if that's the way you feel
             C                G
I know that I'll always go on caring
        D                  G
And my feelings now I must conceal
G                 C              G
I still need you and I want you with me
         D                            G
But its alright if that's the way you feel


VERSE 2
Always knew someday I would lose you
When those lies about me were revealed
Its plain to see sweetheart you believed them
But its alright if that's the way you feel
I know that I'll always go on caring
And my feelings now I must conceal
I still need you and I want you with me
But its alright if that's the way you feel
But its alright if that's the way you feel
