[Verse 1]
Am
If you see me walking down the streets,
    D          Am  D            Am   D
And I start to cry each time we meet,
        Gm7  Am
Walk on by.
             Gm7    Am
Aah, walk on by and make believe,
     Dm                        Am
That I can't see the tears Now let me grieve,
   Bb                       C
In private 'cos each time I see you.
             F   Bb
I just wanna cry,
        F  Bb        F  Bb        F
Walk on by,  walk on by,  walk on by.


[Verse 2]
Am
I just can't get over losing you,
    D       Am      D         Am      D
And so if I seem so broken in pieces,
        Gm7  Am
Walk on by.
           Gm7     Am
Aah, walk on by and foolish pride,
  Dm                        Am
If I can't see the tears then let me hide,
        Bb                        C
All the tears and the sadness you gave me.
                  F   Bb
When you said goodbye.
        F Bb         F  Bb        Am7
Walk on by,  walk on by,  walk on by.
