[D] Today you [F#m] came by [Em] to tell me [G] you are leaving me [D] and to say that [F#m] the love [Em] and all that you
knew had [C] just drifted [Gm] away.
And [D] I look in [F#m] your eyes [Em] and I couldn't [G] bear the pain I felt [D] inside of [F#m] my heart [Em] to think
that I'm gonna [Gm] be lonely again.
And [Bm] if ever [E] you go, then [D] I know at a glance that I don't [A] stand a chance.
Just [D] hold on to [Bm] my love, [G] I'm nothing and I can't get along [D] without you.
[Bm] You're the light [G] of my life, there's no living without [D] you.
It's so hard to [F#m]
believe [Em] that your going [G] away couldn't make me feel [D] so down.
[F#m] Cause I know [Em] that from this moment on I [Gm] won't have you around.
[Bm] And if ever [E] you go, [A] then I know at a glance that I won't stand a chance.
[D] So hold on [Bm] to my love, [G] I'm nothing and I can't get along [D] without you.
[Bm] You're the light [G] of my life, there's no living without you.
[F#m]
Oh baby, [G] nobody's taking [D] your place [G] but for you, [D] but for me.
[G] Our love was born for the whole [A] world to see.
[D] So hold on to [Bm] my love, [G] and I can't get along [D] without you.
[Bm] You're the light [G] of my life, there's no living without [D] your love.

Oh no, no, [G] no.

[E] You're [C#m] the light [F#m]
of my life, there's no living without your [E] [C#m]
love.
Cause [F#m] I'm nothing without you, and I [E] [C#m]
count [F#m] my life as [A] getting along with [E] you.
So hold on, [C#m]
[F#m] cause I'm nothing and I [E] [C#m]
[F#m] [A]
can't [E] get along without you.
