Softly close the[D7] door b[G]ehind you
How it [C]hurts me to see you [G]go
Gently break the tie that binds you
And this [A7]heart that loves you [D7]so
If you're [G]sure you won't be staying
Then just [C]walk on out of my [G]life
There's just two words left for [C]saying[Am]
And the [G]Lord knows [D7]how I hate good[G]byes
And nothing's [C]born to live for[G]ever
But oh how it hurts to see it [D7]die
First it's [G]always then it's [C]never[Am]
And the [G]Lord knows [D7]how I hate goodb[G]yes
And nothing's [C]born to live for[G]ever
But oh how it hurts to see it [D7]die
First it's [G]always then it's [C]never[Am]

How it [C]hurts me to see you [G]go
