intro:

        F      Fsus4      F      Fsus4
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

verse 1:

        F
        I can see
                         C7
        You're slipping away from me
                    F
        And you're so afraid
                               Bb     Gm
        I'll plead with you to stay
                          Am
        But I'm gonna be strong
        Bb      C7           F
        And let you go your way

        Gm  C7
verse 2:

        Our love is gone
        There's no sense in holding on
        'Cause your pity now
        Would be too much to bear
        So I'm gonna be strong
        And pretend I don't care

bridge:

             C                   Bb                 C
        I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
                  C                  Bb
        Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along
             Ab             C7
        And take it like a man

coda:

                  F
        When you say it's the end
                   Bb
        I'll just hand you a line
          F
        I'll smile and say
                  Bb
        Don't you worry, I'm fine
             F            C7
        And you'll never know
                 F         Bb          C
        Darling after you kiss me goodbye
                       Bb/C  C   F   Bb   Db   Eb   F
        How I'll break down and cry
