[Dm] [G] [C]
[C]I can [Dm]tell by your eyes
That you’ve [G]probably been crying for [C]ever
And the [Dm]stars in the sky
Don’t mean [G]nothing, to you they’re a [C]mirror [C7]


[F]I don’t wanna [G]talk about it
[C]How you [Em]broke my [Am]heart [G]
[F]If I stay here just a [G]little bit longer
[F]If I stay here won’t you [G]listen
To my [Dm]heart [G]oh my [C]heart


If I [Dm]stand all alone
Will the [G]shadows hide the colors of my [C]heart
[C]Blue for the tears, black for the nights fears
The [Dm]stars in the sky
Don’t mean [G]nothing, to you they’re a [C]mirror [C7]


[F]I don’t wanna [G]talk about it
[C]How you [Em]broke my [Am]heart [G]
[F]If I stay here just a [G]little bit longer
[F]If I stay here won’t you [G]listen
To my [Dm]heart [G]oh my [C]heart
