[Lyrics] You've been running around This I know, yeah I ought to pack my things And let you go But baby I don't know what to do I can't see myself Going away to stay Whoa, no, I can't See myself leaving you You've been running around With every girl in town Yes, you have If I just had the power I'd put you right down Whoa, oh, my love I don't know what to do Cause I can't see myself Going away to stay Oh no, I can't See myself leaving you, no True love Is so hard to find Tell me, tell me That I've got mine If I go Searching for another I'd just be wasting My time, yeah, hey I say we're through Because I love you Yes, I do If I leave you, baby What would I do? Whoa, oh, oh, my love I wouldn't know what to do Cause I can't see Myself leaving you Whoa, oh, oh, oh I can't see myself Leaving you, no I can't see myself Leaving you Whoa, no I can't see myself... ************************************ Duration Legend W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; a - acciaccatura; + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for.
