Just Because

	  		Intro: G  G7  C  D  D7  G 

('Ah, remember this? Why, I must have been thirteen 
when this came out - or was it fourteen? Or was it twenty-two? 
I could have been twelve, actually...') 

G                 G7                C 
Just because you left and said goodbye 
D                 D7               G 
Do you think that I will sit and cry 
            G7                  C 
Even if my heart should tell me so 
D                D7            G 
Darling I would rather let you go 

Just because I want someone who's kind 
With a heart that's good and pure as mine 
But maybe I am asking far too much 
Darling, please don't ever break my heart 

             C 
I know you think you're smart 
                              D             D7 
Just runnin' around breaking lover's hearts 

Just because you left and said goodbye - hey! 
Do you think that I will sit and cry 
Even if my heart should tell me so 
Darling I would rather let you go 

('This is Dr. Winston O'Boogie saying goodnight from Record 
Plant East, New York... We hope you had a swell time.... 
Everybody here says 'hi'....'goodbye!'') 

Just because you left and said goodbye 
Do you think that I will sit and cry 
Even if my heart should tell me so 
Darling I would rather let you go
