That's Not the Part of Him (You're Leaving)
Elvis Costello
Capo II
(Riff 1)
I have a Cfriend, she's just a C7friend
I tried to Fcomfort and defend
I gave her what you might call adCvice
But nothing like that comes without a Gprice
The rumor Cwas a cruel surC7prise
And she disFsolved before my eyes
I offered my hand and hers and mine enDmtwined
I thought about back then when I wished that Gshe had been Cmine
There's no use in Fshedding any Dmtears
He's no good to Cyou the way he C7is
F D G G# G*
He's gone, beyond forgiving and believing
Half of his Cheart is torn like C7paper
It's sweet as the Fsyrup from the Dmmaple
Dm C/E* F G F C/E Dm C
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
(Riff 1)
In time they're Cbound to wonder C7why
It's just a Fthrill you can't deny
I offered my shoulder right aCway
Now people will talk about what I can't Gsay
And yet the Cwhispers still perC7sist
They're getting Fharder to resist
How am I supposed to stop loving you now I've beDmgun?
I'm sorry for what I might do more than Gwhat I have Cdone
There's no use in Fshedding any Dmtears
He's no good to Cyou the way he C7is
F D G G# G*
He's gone, beyond forgiving and believing
Half of his Cheart is filled with C7pain
That's sweet as a Flick of sugarcDmane
Dm C/E* F G F C/E Dm C
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
Love is a Cmany splintered C7thing
That only cuts Froses and ribbons thatDm cling
Dm C/E* F G F C/E Dm C
But that's not the part of him___ you're leaving
