Capo 3
[D] The hardest thing I've ever done, or [G] that I'll ever [D] do
Was to just walk off and leave you, but I [G] knew I had to leave [D]you
'Cause I [G] couldn't stay and [D] watch you
Falling [A] out of love with [D] me
The worst pain I've ever known, or that I'll ever know
Was to see your love dyin' and I had to watch it dyin'
And I couldn't stand to watch you
Falling out of love with me
Chorus:
Its [G] hurtin' [A] now but [D] still it's better
I [G] left while [A] love was [D] still alive
It [G] was [A] dying and [D] I'd rather
I [G] didn't [A] have to watch it [D] die
The deepest hurt I've ever felt, or that I'll ever feel
Was to know that I was losin' but I tried and I kept losin'
And I couldn't stay and watch you
Falling out of love with me
The loneliest I've ever been, or that I'll ever be
Is now that I'm without you and I feel so lost without you
But I couldn't stay and watch you
Falling out of love with me
Chorus
It was dying and I'd rather
I didn't have to watch it die
