1. If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away,

          Em                              G

    I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say :

 

               C                        Am                    C                     F

"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more !"

                                    C

And I'd walk out that door.

                                                 C                                                 - A

And you'd be down on your knees, and you'd be calling to me,

                           F                             - G                 C

but a tower of strength is something        I'll never be .

2. If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry,

          Em                                G

    I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye.
