[Gm] [C] I wonder why you threw your diary [Dm] away When you [G] walk by I nearly die, what can [C] I say?

[D] [C]
[D] I find myself alone at night and then I [Em] cry No [A] tenderness, my happiness just said [D] goodbye
Now you're gone, I'm alone, I wonder [G] why we had to [E] part
[D] Breaking up [A] is breaking [D] my heart [G]
[D] Breaking up [A] is breaking [D] my heart
[E] The love affair we used to share is cold [F#m] and still
I loved [B] you then, I love you now, I [E] always will
The day that you found someone new, my [A] lonely world
Just [F#] fell apart
