6 -6 6 9 9 I fall to pieces, -9 9 -10 9 9 -9 8 each time I see you again. 6 -6 6 9 9 I fall to pieces. -9 9 -10 9 8 -8 7 How can I be just your friend? 9 9 8 -9 9 9 -10 9 -9 -9 You want me to act like we've never kissed. 9 -10 9 -10 -7 -7 -8 8 -9 -10 9 9 You want me to forget, pretend we never met. -9 9 -10 9 -10 10 -10 10 -10 9 9 And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet. -9 9 -10 -10 9 9 8 -8 7 You walk by and I fall to pieces.I fall to pieces, each time someone speaks your name. I fall to pieces, time only adds to the flame. You tell me to find someone else to love, Someone who'll love me the way you used to do. But each time I go out with someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces. This can be played in the lower ocatve with some loss of accuracy, but easier flow.
