[Am]If you see me walking down the streets
And [D]I start to [Am]cry [D]each time we [Am]meet [D]
Walk on [Gm7]by [Am]
Oh, walk on[Gm7] by and [Am]make believe
That[Dm] I can see the tears that [Am]let me grieve
In [Bb]private 'cos each time I [C]see you
I just wanna [F]cry [Bb]
Walk on [F]by,[Bb] walk on [F]by,[Bb] walk on [F]by


[Am]I just can't get over losing you
And [D]so if I [Am]seem so [D]broken in [Am]pieces [D]
Walk on [Gm7]by [Am]
Oh, walk on[Gm7] by and [Am]foolish pride
If[Dm] I can see the tears then [Am]let me hide
All the [Bb]tears and the sadness you [C]gave me
When you said good[F]bye [Bb]
Walk on [F]by[Bb], walk on [F]by,[Bb] walk on [Am7]by
Let's go for a [Bm7]stroll in the trees!
