The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you came along oh happy was I when you went away I thought I would die
Oh baby don't leave me this way
You know how much I needed your touch baby I loved you a little too much
Oh baby don't leave me this way
I thought you said our love was true you loved me and I loved you
But now you're gone and I am blue oh what am I gonna do
I just can't see why you wanted to go you knew all along it hurt me so
Oh baby don't leave me this way
[ ac.guitar ]
I thought you said our love was true...
Oh baby don't leave me this way
