Verse:
A
Well, you called me up this morning
F#m
Told me 'bout the new love you found
D
Said, "I'm happy for you.
E
I'm really happy for you."
Found someone else,
I guess I won't be coming 'round
I guess it's over, baby
It's really over, baby, woooh
Pre-chorus:
F#m
And from what you're saying
A
I know you've gotten over me
C#7 F#m A E
It'll never be the way it used to be
Bm E
So if it's gotta be this way
Bm
Don't worry, baby,
E
I can take the news okay
Chorus:
A
But if you see me walking by,
D
And the tears are in my eyes,
A D E
Look away, baby, look away.
A
If we meet on the street some day,
D
And I don't know what to say,
A D E
Look away, baby, look away.
F#m
Don't look at me
D E A
I don't want you to see me this way.
[Intro]
Verse:
When we both agreed as lovers
We were better off as friends
That's how it had to be
Yeah, that's how it had to be
I tell you I'm fine,
But sometimes I just pretend
Wish you were holding me,
Wish you were still holding me, oooh
Prechorus:
I just never thought
That I would be replaced so soon
I wasn't prepared
To hear those words from you
I know I wanted to be free
Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be
Chorus:
A
But if you see me walking by,
D
And the tears are in my eyes,
A D E
Look away, baby, look away.
A
And if we meet on the street some day,
D
And I don't know what to say,
A D E
Look away, baby, look away.
F#m
Don't look at me
D E A
I don't want you to see me this way.
