(3/4) [Intro] | G | G | D | F# | | Em | E7 | D | D | [Verse 1]
             G       D7
You say that you are leaving

     G            D/A
That soon we two, must part

  Em        G          D    B7
I know that you, can't mean it

    E7                  A7
For that would break my heart

    Em    B7       Em
And after all, you know

  E7              A
I really love you so
[Chorus]
        D       B7        E
For the sake of days gone by, dear

A7             D
Let us start a new

G                  D       B7
Let's be friends until the end

E7                    A7
Like true sweethearts do

D         B7       E
Though we may have quarrelled

A                    F#7
Please don't say goodbye

G            D                  F#7
Shake hands, then kiss and make up

        Em      E7   D/A
For the sake of days gone by
[Break]

[Verse 2]
              G         D7
Why should we spoil our romance?

       G          D/A
That's lasted all these years

G                   D
Parting brings only sadness

  E7            A7
Unhappiness and tears

  Em       B7        Em
I need you more each day

   E7               A
So please don't go away
[Chorus]
        D       B7        E
For the sake of days gone by, dear

A7             D
Let us start a new

G                  D       B7
Let's be friends until the end

E7                    A7
Like true sweethearts do

D         B7       E7
Though we may have quarrelled

A7                   F#7
Please don't say goodbye

G            D                  F#7
Shake hands, then kiss and make up

        Em      E7   D/A
For the sake of days gone by
