[Am]If you see me walking down the streets

And [D]I start to [Am]cry [D]each time we [Am]meet [D]

Walk on [Gm7]by [Am]

Oh, walk on[Gm7] by and [Am]make believe

That[Dm] I can see the tears that [Am]let me grieve

In [Bb]private 'cos each time I [C]see you

I just wanna [F]cry [Bb]

Walk on [F]by,[Bb] walk on [F]by,[Bb] walk on [F]by

And [D]so if I [Am]seem so [D]broken in [Am]pieces [D]

Walk on [Gm7]by [Am]

Oh, walk on[Gm7] by and [Am]foolish pride

If[Dm] I can see the tears then [Am]let me hide

All the [Bb]tears and the sadness you [C]gave me

When you said good[F]bye [Bb]

Walk on [F]by[Bb], walk on [F]by,[Bb] walk on [Am7]by

Let's go for a [Bm7]stroll in the trees!
