Will you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

Dm                               E
To my door, you're not deceiving me....

Facing me would be much better now....

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

E                       Am
Can't you tell me to my face

E                          Am
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye...

Am                             E
If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you I'm sad

   Dm                                E
To think about the time I'll have to go...

Am                              E
Then I'll turn and walk away so please don't beg for me to stay

Cause I know just what I will say to you...
