C                 G7   C          Am                G7
She tries for the honesty but the truth gets in the way

        F                    Am             Em      Am  G7
Cause I know inside what she can't bring herself to say

C                       G7          C
There's something dying deep in her heart

Am                         G7
I feel it when I touch her hand

F                          Am         Em   Am    G7
So I tell her a lie when I tell her I understand

 
      C            Am
But inside I die a little each day

  C               Am
Inside I feel her slipping away

  F                  Am        Em
Inside if she knew I hurt this way

  G7                Em        Am
Inside she'd find a reason to stay

    F                   Fm                     C
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside


             G7      C  Am                  G7
She turns to look at me trying to speak her mind

  F                   Am          Em     Am    G7
A thousand reasons in search of a single rhyme

    C           G7        C        Am                G7
And suddenly it occurs to me she's trying to say goodbye

   F                      Am            Em        Am     G7
So I give her a smile and tell her that I'll be alright  ooooh


      C            Am
But inside I die a little each day

  C               Am
Inside I feel her slipping away

  F                  Am        Em
Inside if she knew I hurt this way

  G7                Em        Am
Inside she'd find a reason to stay

    F                   Fm                     C
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside

 
Dm                  C         Fm                    C
Sometimes love will slip away it's hard to say just why

Em                             Am      Em
Is it something that's said or is it instead

Am                         Dm   G7
Something that just simply died


      C    Am    C    Am
But inside     inside

  F                  Am        Em
Inside if she knew I hurt this way

  Gm                Em        Am
Inside she'd find a reason to stay

    F                   Fm                       C
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside
