 Hey baby,  tell  me what we're gonna  do
 It's getting  crazy  and I need  some help from you
We were  so connected  that you  were a part  of me
Now I  feel an emptiness right  to the heart  of me
 But you  pretend  and I  pretend  that everything  is fine
 And though  we should  be at  an end
 It's so  hard admittin'  when it's  quittin' time
 
 Hey baby, I'm running out of things to say ( )
 Please don't hate me, this feeling just won't go away ( )
 Now we're spending all our time caught in  fantasy ( )
 Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be ( )
 But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine ( )
 And though we should be at an end ( )
 It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)
 But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine ( )
 And though we should be at an end ( )
 It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin'... (Am F G)
 (So hard admittin' when it's quittin'...) (Am F G)
 So hard admittin' when it's quittin' time ( )
