Outside the storms are raging
Darkening the skies
Inside the war is waging
I can see it in your eyes

Your voice begins to tremble
When you see I'm going to cry
You tell me that you're sorry
But that it's time to say good-bye

CHORUS
And my tears mix with the rain
‘Cause I'm losing you again
And "I'm sorry" doesn't mend this broken heart

If I asked you, would you stay
Another hour, one more day
Because "I'm sorry" doesn't mend this broken heart


You've packed up all your mem'ries
As you're heading out the door
You say that you still love me
But you can't stay here anymore

I follow out to see you
For the last time, as you go
You turn to me to tell me
We'll both be fine...I know

CHORUS
But my tears mix with the rain
‘Cause I'm losing you again
And "I'm sorry" doesn't mend this broken heart

If I asked you, would you stay
Another hour, or, one more day
Because, "I'm sorry" doesn't mend this broken heart

I thought you'd always be here
Just like I knew you should
But you said you couldn't leave her
Why did I think you could

This time you're really leaving
And I'll close the open door
I'll cry until the morning
Then go on as before

CHORUS
But my tears mix with the rain
‘Cause I'm losing you again
And "I'm sorry" doesn't mend this broken heart

If you see me, walk away
It doesn't matter anyway
‘Cause "I'm sorry" doesn't mend this broken heart

the chord progression on this piece is relatively simple..4/4 time, alternating Cmaj7 and G, rounding with Amin to D. picked, not strummed.
