Verse 1
A
We both know that I shouldn’t be here
This is wrong
Bm
And baby it’s killing me

It’s killing you
D
But both of us trying to be strong
A
I’ve got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Bm
Someone else who loves me
E D
And trusted me fast asleep
Pre-chorus
E
I’ve made up my mind
There is no turning back
Bm
She’s been good to me
D E
And she deserves better than that
Chorus
A
It’s the hardest thing
E
I’ll ever have to do
Bm
To look you in the eye
D
And tell you i don’t love you
A
It’s the hardest thing
E
I’ll ever have to lie
Bm
To show no emotion
D
When you start to cry
A
I can’t let you see
E
What you mean to me
Bm
When my hands are tied
D
And my heart’s not free
We’re not meant to be
A
It’s the hardest thing
E
I’ll ever have to do
Bm
To turn around and walk away
D
Pretending i don’t love you
Verse 2
A
I know we’ll meet again
Fate has a place and time
Bm
So you can get on with your life
D E
I’ve got to be cruel to be kind
A
Like Doctor Zhivago
All my love I’ll be sending
Bm
And you’ll never know
D
‘Cause there can be no happy ending
Bridge
Am, Bm, E, D
