D    B7   G       E7-9    D       F#m             B7
If I go, who's to care?  Who's to tell me good - bye?

Edim  G               E7-9           D F#m      B7
 So sweet - ly, com - plete - ly did I fall in love,

    G   G/F#     Edim       D
But you nev - er gave it a try.

When I call no one's there, when I write, no re - ply.

Edim  G           E7-9         D F#m      B7
 So glad - ly, so mad - ly did I fall in love,

    G   G/F#     Edim       D
But you nev - er gave it a try.
