[Intro]
Emaj7 Dmaj7/E
[Verse 1]
Emaj7
You say you needed someone
Emaj7
But you just needed somewhere to stay
Dmaj7
Oh, any other time
Dmaj7
Any other time
Dmaj7
I'd have told you to be right on your way
Emaj7
You say you needed a friend
Emaj7
But you just needed sympathy
Dmaj7
Oh, any other time
Dmaj7
Any other time
Dmaj7
I'd have told you just to let me be
[Pre-Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m
But I was so alone
F#m Emaj7
So alone
[Chorus]
Amaj7 A E
Don't say you love me, baby
A E
Don't say you love me
A
Don't say you love me
A/C# E5 A
Cause I know it would be just a lie
[Verse 2]
Emaj7
I lost the warmth in my life
Emaj7
And you came and helped me up
Emaj7
When I was down
Dmaj7
Oh, any other time
Dmaj7
Any other time
Dmaj7
I'd have let you carry on
Dmaj7
Fooling around
Emaj7
I let you into my home
Emaj7
And I even let you into my heart
Dmaj7
Oh, but any other time
Dmaj7
Any other time
Dmaj7
I'd have let you carry on
Dmaj7
From the very start
[Pre-Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m
But I was so sad and blue
F#m E
And I just didn't know what to do
[Chorus]
Amaj7 A/E E
Don't say you love me, baby

Cause I know it would be just a lie
