Verse 1
Em Cmaj7
What if I did not love you? Where would that leave me?
Em Cmaj7
Would I wander through the avenues under a pall of misery?
Em Cmaj7
Would I be face down in a gutter with cheap whiskey on my breath?
Em Cmaj7
The lonely life of a writer whose words could not pay his debts
Chorus
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
I am alive, oh can't you see that I've been blinded completely
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
I am alive, oh can't you see that I am pleading for your mercy

Verse 2
Em Cmaj7
What if we became strangers? Would you notice my face in a crowd?
Em
And could you hear the sorrow in my voice
Cmaj7
Helplessly crying your name out loud?
Em Cmaj7
Would I be searching for a saviour, burned and burning with regret?
Em Cmaj7
The lonely life of a writer with one last desperate request
Chorus
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
I am alive, oh can't you see that I've been blinded completely

Please don't, please don't pass me by
Em Cmaj7 G D/F#
I am alive, oh can't you see that I am pleading for your mercy
Bridge
D Am G Em
I've been on the lam, being hunted something fierce

They say time and tide it waits for no man
Am C
But I was just hoping these storm filled skies would clear
