[Intro]
Em F G Am
Em F G Am
Em F G Am Em F
Dm F C

[Verse 1]
F                  G
Last night was the third time
    Am               Em
I'd watch you leave
F                    G
And though it's been five months,
         Am              Em
was like no time with me
F                    G
From my tears in the dark as
           Am   Em   F
you drove away from me
Dm            F                 C  Em
'Cause nobody knows me like you do

[Verse 2]
F                  G
You arrived in the evening
         Am                   Em
like outside on the green
F                  G
And I swore I'd be fine 'til I
         Am                     Em
realized that you still love me
F               G
To see you standing there,
       Am  Em    F
I just fell relieved
Dm            F                 C
'Cause nobody knows me like you do

[Chorus]
F               G
And dark are my days now that
  Am                   Em
I face them on my own
F               G
So long are thе nights now
     Am                     Em
that I'm sleeping here alone
F                     G
And aftеr all of this time,
               Am          Em      F
it's still just as hard to see you go
Dm            F
'Cause nobody knows me
Dm     F                 C
Nobody knows me like you do

[Verse 3]
F                  G
Last night your eyes were
        Am                         Em
bright again like when we first met
F                G
Tried to hide it but I knew right
          Am                  Em
that you found somebody else
F       G        Am         Em    F
Babe, I know you too well you forget
Dm          F                C
That nobody knows you like I do

[Middle 8]
Dm                  Gsus4
You're in my dreams and for a
  G7            Am
while it seems we're unbroken
Dm                       Gsus4
And if I could I'd never leave,
    G7            Am
never let my eyes over
Dm     G7
Hmm

[Verse 4]
F                 G
And I know that I decided
       Am                    Em
we had different life story
F                 G
Not sure what it was,
                     Am            Em
I thought I'd found once I was free
F             G
But without you beside me,
  Am  Em    F
all I can see
Dm             F                 C
Is that nobody knows me like you do

[Chorus]
F               G
And dark are my days now
       Am                   Em
that I face them on my own
F               G
So long are thе nights now
      Am                     Em
that I'm sleeping here alone
F                     G
And aftеr all of this time,
                 Am      Em        F
it's still just as hard to see you go
Dm            F
'Cause nobody knows me
Dm     F                  Dm
Nobody knows me, ee-ee-ee
Dm     F                    C
Nobody knows me like you do
