A D
I'm so glad that you came by to see me
A E
But I'm afraid that I'm not much to see
A D
But if those tears in your eyes are tears of pity
A E A
Then it's best you don't shed them for me
CHORUS
E A
Save your tears for the ones who are livin'
E
It's too late for someone who has died
D A
And this world of mine long ago ended
E D A
It ended when you said goodbye
A D
You tell me the children still miss me
A E
And ask about me everyday
A D
I'd give all the world just to see them
A E A
But it's best they don't see me this way
CHORUS
E A
Save your tears for the ones who are livin'
E
It's too late for someone who has died
D A
And this world of mine long ago ended
E D A
It ended when you said goodbye
