that breaks my heart,
E
makes me cry,
D
E
that's in your heart,
E
makes me try!

F#m11
Friends all tell me that I look so sad,
E
And they don't need to ask me why------,
F#m11
They know the reason that I feel so bad,
E
Since the night you said... good - bye!

It's not the letters that you just don't write,
F#m11
It's not the arms of some new friend,
Bm9
It's not the crying in the dead of the night,
F#m11
E
That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end!

Another friend comes by, and tries to say hello,
E
Another weekend's al----most gone!
