 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.)
