I know you tried your best to love me, 
    F                                  C 
You smiled when your heart told you to weep. 
    F                              C 
You tried to pretend that you were happy, 
     G                                C      F  C  G  C 
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You gave the best years of your life dear,

And each precious vow you tried to keep.

I love you so much I want you happy,

Your heart is yearning for an old love, 
     F                          C 
With new love its useless to compete. 
   F                          C 
It hurts me to know you are unhappy, 
     G                                C 
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep.

You know that you are free to go dear, 
    F                           C 
And don't mind me if I start to weep. 
  F                         C 
I know I can never make you happy, 
            G                                C 
'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep.
