You say [G#] it's just for a while, [Cm] then you [Fm] force a smile [A#m] and you hope she'll _ [D#] understand.
Then [G#] a tear _ [Cm] appears in her eyes [C#] as she tightly holds [D#] your hand.
Then [G#] you let her know [Cm] that it's time [Fm] to go.

[A] Oh, every [C#m] silent step you take, [D] each one [E] hurts your _ heart.
