Verse:
           A
Well, you called me up this morning
                  F#m
Told me 'bout the new love you found
           D
Said, "I'm happy for you.
           E
I'm really happy for you."

Found someone else,
I guess I won't be coming 'round
I guess it's over, baby
It's really over, baby, woooh

Pre-chorus:

F#m
  And from what you're saying
              A
I know you've gotten over me
C#7                  F#m    A       E
  It'll never be the way it used to be
Bm                         E
  So if it's gotta be this way
Bm
  Don't worry, baby,
      E
I can take the news okay

Chorus:

           A
But if you see me walking by,
        D
And the tears are in my eyes,
      A    D           E
Look away, baby, look away.
           A
If we meet on the street some day,
      D
And I don't know what to say,
      A    D           E
Look away, baby, look away.
      F#m
Don't look at me
  D                 E           A
I don't want you to see me this way.

[Intro]

Verse:

When we both agreed as lovers
We were better off as friends
That's how it had to be
Yeah, that's how it had to be

I tell you I'm fine,
But sometimes I just pretend
Wish you were holding me,
Wish you were still holding me, oooh

Prechorus:

I just never thought
That I would be replaced so soon
I wasn't prepared
To hear those words from you
I know I wanted to be free
Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be

Chorus:

           A
But if you see me walking by,
        D
And the tears are in my eyes,
      A    D           E
Look away, baby, look away.
               A
And if we meet on the street some day,
      D
And I don't know what to say,
      A    D           E
Look away, baby, look away.
      F#m
Don't look at me
  D		     E	     A
I don't want you to see me this way.

[Solo in B: F#m  E F#m B E  F#]

Chorus:

       B
If you see me walking by,
        E
And the tears are in my eyes,
      B    E           F#
Look away, baby, look away.
               B
And if we meet on the street some day,
      E
And I don't know what to say,
      B    E           F#
Look away, baby, look away.
      G#m
Don't look at me
  E		     F#	      B
I don't want you to see me (this way.)
       B
If you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me (this way.)
