(Chorus)
I (G)wish you (C)knew, how (D)hard I've tried to tell you
How (C)hard I've tried to get you off my (G)mind
I (G)wish you (C)knew, how (D)hard I've tried to sleep at night
(C)Since I know that you're no longer (G)mine
(C)Since you let an-(D)other beat my (G)time

(Verse 1)
If (G)only half the things were true you say about my (D)heart
Then I would have forgotten you since we've been a-(G)part
You said I forced my lips to kiss you when we said good-(D)bye
You even said I forced the tears that came into my (G)eyes - - -

Repeat Chorus

(Verse 2)
There's (G)not a thought that could be worse than knowing that you're (D)gone
But in the picture in your mind I'm never all a-(G)lone
You see me in another's arms just like I've been with (D)you
And the way I cry for you each night I only wish you (G)knew - - -

Repeat Chorus
