E---------------------|    what I mean.


Am
If you see me walking down the streets
    D          Am  D            Am   D
And I start to cry each time we meet
        Gm7  Am
Walk on by
           Gm7     Am
Oh, walk on by and make believe
    Dm                        Am
That I can see the tears that let me grieve
   Bb                       C
In private 'cos each time I see you
             F   Bb
I just wanna cry
        F  Bb        F  Bb        F
Walk on by,  walk on by,  walk on by


Am
I just can't get over losing you
    D       Am      D         Am      D
And so if I seem so broken in pieces
        Gm7  Am
Walk on by
           Gm7     Am
Oh, walk on by and foolish pride
  Dm                        Am
If I can see the tears then let me hide
        Bb                        C
All the tears and the sadness you gave me
                  F   Bb
When you said goodbye
        F Bb         F  Bb        Am7
Walk on by,  walk on by,  walk on by
               Bm7
