There goes  my   heart,  there goes the one I love;

      Em      A7sus4  A7  A A9   A7+5 G6     D  
There goes the girl       I was - n't worthy of.

      F#m     Am7  B7        Am7    B7  Em  B+  Em7  
There goes my happiness, it could - n't be;

      Em6      Em7/9  A7  G    Em7   G/B  A7
There goes somebody  else   in place of   me.


Em7    A7  A6/7/9  D9   D      DM7   D6    G9     G6/F#  Em7
Good - bye   ro - mance,   it could - n't last somehow;

  Em     A7sus4  A7  A  A9   A7+5 G6       D
I had my chance,    but it's  all o - ver now.

  F#m     Am7        B7        Am7  B7 Em  B+  Em7
I never thought that she could pass me by;

 G    D/F# A7   D       Em7  A7    D
There goes my heart and here    am I.



(Instrumental Interlude - first 2 lines of second half)


F#m     Am7        B7        Am7  B7 Em  B+  Em7
I never thought that she could pass me by;

 G    D/F# A7   D       Em7  A7    D
There goes my heart and here    am I.
