G        D C            B C
Nobody's talking about it
             Em D            B C
Everybody's walking around it

Do they really think that I'm so blind

Everybody knows that you're leaving
              Em D                       B C

After all that we've been through

Verse 2
G             D C                B C
Do you think that I got it coming
           Em D
Did you think that maybe by running

                               B
Running out in the dark of the night

G                     D C                B C
'Cause out there it's life for the taking
              Em D                     B C
Back here it's my heart that's breaking
                              B
And you know that it hurts so bad

Turnaround

A                     F
I'm not looking for a confrontation
      C          G       D
But I gotta know what to do
A                                  F         
And I'm tired of this second-hand information
C                           D
I just want to hear it from you...
