          G
we are staring out across the street
     Em
my love and I
     C
she turns to me
      G
and though we were not far apart
         Em
we're closer then
      C
she tells me
G     D   Am                C
why not want what we can have?
G     D   Am            C
why not ask what to say?
             G               D  
and she's gone, gone far away
          Am                                C
it don't hurt me to know, it don't hurt her to say
     G      D   Am            C             G          D          C
say why not go, if we're leaving anyway?

        G
I am staring out across the sky
      Em
and counting stars
      C
she comes to me
      G
and though we were not far apart
         Em
we're closer now
      C
she asks me
G     D   Am                C
why not want what we can't have?
G     D   Am                C
why not know what to say?

              G          D
and she's gone, in every way
         Am                              C
and it hurts me to know, and it hurts her to stay
              G         D
and she's here, in every way
          Am                                C
it don't hurt me to know, it don't hurt her to say
      G     D   Am              C             G
say why not stay, if we're leaving anyway
D             C             G
                          anyway...
