Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 And though you try to justify the meaning

 Of the note you sent this evening

 To my door, you're not deceiving me

 Well, I'd have thought that you'd have known much better

 Sending 'round an unsigned letter

 Facing me would be much better now

Chorus

 Is it just that you can't face the future with me

 Can't you tell me to my face

 You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

 How would you feel here in my place

Guitar riff: 2X

[Chords behind the riff]

Verse 2

And now I know my love is lost on you

And nothing you can say or do

Will turn my head around the other way

I'd have thought you'd have the decency to come and tell the truth to me

Instead of telling lies your eyes betray

Chorus

Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place

Guitar Riff 2X

Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Long Instrumental Break]

Guitar Riff 2X

Verse 3

Though you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door, you're not deceiving me

I'd have thought that you'd have known much better

Sending round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now

Chorus

Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place

Guitar Riff 2X

Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Construct an ending to suit yourself. Enjoy.
