[F]
[Eb] I only [Dm] want to let you know, [Cm] but now you're leaving.
[Gm] How [F] many hearts must you [Eb] break?
How many [Dm] calls must I make?
[Cm] Now you're [Bb] leaving in this world.
What I do has [Eb] become unbearable.
But love is in [Dm] your touch.
[Cm] Ooh, it's killing me [D] so much.
Only [Gm] when you leave, I need [F] to love you.
And [Eb] when the action has [Dm] begun,
[Cm] only I need you.
[G] But fooling up too long,
only [Gm] when you leave, [F] leave in danger,
[Eb] I'll make sure that [Dm] you pay.
So give a [Cm] little passion to [Gm] a stranger,
and [D] take this all away.

It's only [Dm] when you're gone that [Cm] I burn.
Now you're leaving.
[Bb] In the end, all that is left,
[Eb] ever, is hard to change [Dm] and more.
[Cm] So leave it all [D] behind.
Only [Gm] when you leave, I need [F] to love you.
And [Eb] when the action has [Dm] begun,
just a [Cm] lot of fooling up needs you.
[G] But fooling up too long,
only [Gm] when you leave, [F] leave in danger,
[Eb] I'll make sure that [Dm] you pay.
So give a [Cm] little passion [Eb] to a stranger,

[Bb] How [F] many hearts must you [Eb] break?
How [Dm] many goals [Cm] must I make?
But [C] now you're leaving.
[Bb] In this world,
all that I choose has [Eb] become a mirror.
With love in [Dm] your touch,
who [Cm] can it be [D] someone?
Only when you leave, I need [F] to love you.
And [Eb] when the action has [Dm] begun,
just a [Cm] lot of fooling up needs you.
[G] But fooling up too long,
only when you [Bb] leave, leave [F] in danger,
[Eb] I'll make sure that [Dm] you pay.
So give a [Cm] little passion to a stranger,
