C G7 C Am G7
She tries for the honesty but the truth gets in the way
F Am Em Am G7
Cause I know inside what she can't bring herself to say
C G7 C
There's something dying deep in her heart
Am G7
I feel it when I touch her hand
F Am Em Am G7
So I tell her a lie when I tell her I understand
C Am
But inside I die a little each day
C Am
Inside I feel her slipping away
F Am Em
Inside if she knew I hurt this way
G7 Em Am
Inside she'd find a reason to stay
F Fm C
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside
G7 C Am G7
She turns to look at me trying to speak her mind
F Am Em Am G7
A thousand reasons in search of a single rhyme
C G7 C Am G7
And suddenly it occurs to me she's trying to say goodbye
F Am Em Am G7
So I give her a smile and tell her that I'll be alright ooooh
C Am
But inside I die a little each day
C Am
Inside I feel her slipping away
F Am Em
Inside if she knew I hurt this way
G7 Em Am
Inside she'd find a reason to stay
F Fm C
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside
Dm C Fm C
Sometimes love will slip away it's hard to say just why
Em Am Em
Is it something that's said or is it instead
Am Dm G7
Something that just simply died
C Am C Am
But inside inside
F Am Em
Inside if she knew I hurt this way
Gm Em Am
Inside she'd find a reason to stay
F Fm C
And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside
