_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G]
You as a hometown boy, _ _ [Em] _
my heart was somewhere [F] else. _
I turned and left you [C] there.
You always could take care of yourself.
[G] _
Now you're climbing high, _ [Em] _ I'm here on the brink.
_ [F] _ _
Looking at the sky, _ _ [C] _ seems I'm just too late.
[B] And I see the other [Bm] _ _ face, [C] _ smile can hide the heartache.
_ [Bm] But I know the way, _ [C] I know the [D] _ _ _ [D] way. _
_ _ _ _ I'd take you [G] away _ from her.
All _ _ _ it takes to [Em] take you away from _ her. _
_ _ _ _ _ And it wouldn't [C] be enough. _ _ _ _
[Am] But I guess that's just what happens _
[D] _ _ _ _ when [G] you love.
_ _ _ [Em] I'll _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
get over you, _ _ [Em] _
good Lord says I will.
_ [F] _ _
Don't keep looking back, _ [C] cause I'm just devastated.
_ _ [G] _
You're meant for better things, [Em] _ _
always thought you would.
[F] _ _
She's inside your heart, [C] well I ain't a match for her.
_ [Bm] And I see the other _ face, _ [C] smile can hide the _ heartache.
[Bm] I know the way, _ [C] I _ know the _ way. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'd take you _ [G] away from her. _
All _ _ it takes to take [Em] you away from her.
And _ _ _ _ _ it wouldn't [C] be _ _ _ enough.

Now you don't need my hand, [Em] _ _
you sure got all you want.
[F] _ _
Those things I needed once, [C] the dreams are all [Am] long gone.
[E] _ _ [G] _
See your smile is white, [E] does it cover up the pain?
_ _ [F] Is there nothing left inside, _ _ [C] nothing left to gain?
[Bm] And I see the other _ face, _ [C] smile can hide the _ heartache.
[Bm] But I don't know the way, [C] I _ know the [D] _ _ way. _ _
_ _ _ _ I'd take you [G] away _ from her. _
