Dm
If you could envision
                  A7
The meaning of a tragedy
      Dm
Oooh, you might be
                       A7
surprised to hear it's you and me

But when it comes down to it
You never made the most of it
Ooh, so I cried, cried, cried
And now, I say goodbye

Dm                         A7
And I won't be made a fool of
                Dm
Don't call this love

When did you decide
That I didn't have enough to buy
Forgive and forget you a thousand times
For the fire and the sleepless nights

And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love

Am     C         G
don't call this love

Chorus:
Dm
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

C
Why did you feel the need
                                 Dm
To prove that everybody else was right
             E
No, I won't fight

Dm               Am
Oooh, you're my tragedy
  C                  G
Tragedy, you'r  my tragedy
  Dm           Am
Oohhhhhh, this is
   C
Oohhhhhh

La, love, la, la, la, love
