VERSE
C            Dm/C
Need I say I love you
F/C          C
Need I say I care
C                Dm/C
Need I say that emotion’s
F/C                  Em
Something we don't share
Am                 F
I don't want to be sitting here
F      C/E  Dm
Trying to deceive you
    C               F/C
Cos you know I know baby
F             C
I don't wanna go


VERSE
   C             Dm/C
We cannot live together
   F/C          C
We cannot live apart
C              Dm/C
That's the situation
     F/C               Em
I've known it from the start
Am                F
Every time that I look at you
F     C/E     Dm
I can see the future
    C               F/C
Cos you know I know baby
F             C
I don't wanna go


CHORUS
| Cmaj7 | Bbsus2
            Fadd9
Throwing it all away
            Gsus4
Throwing it all away

| Cmaj7 | Bbsus2
                      Fadd9
Is there nothing that I can say
   Gsus4
To make you change your mind


LINK
Bbsus2                 F
  I watch the world go round and round
Bbsus2                 F
  And see mine turning upside down


INTERLUDE
          C   
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          F/C   
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          G/C   
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

VERSE
C                   Dm/C
Who'll light up the darkness
F/C                C
Who will hold your hand
C                     Dm/C
Who will find you the answers
F/C                 Em
When you don't understand
Am                   F
Why should I have to be the one
F       C/E   Dm
Who has to convince you
    C               F/C
Cos you know I know baby
     F             C
That I don't wanna go


VERSE
C                 Dm/C
Someday you'll be sorry
F/C                 C
Someday when you're free
C               Dm/C
Memories will remind you
     F/C                   Em
That our love was meant to be
Am                     F
Late at night when you call my name
    F    C/E          Dm
The only sound you'll hear
       C                   F/C
Is the sound of your voice calling
F             C
Calling after me

                      Fadd9
Is there nothing that I can say
   Gsus4
To make you change your mind
