Tom: A 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
