Em Who would have thought A That you could hurt me Em The way you´ve done it? A So deliberate, so determined Em And since you have been gone A I bite my nails for days and hours Em A And question my own questions on and on F#m Bm F#m Bm So tell me now, tell me now G Why you´re so far away A When I´m still so close Chorus: D You don´t even know the meaning of the words F#m "I´m sorry" G You said you would love me until you die Bm A And as far as I know you´re still alive, baby D You don´t even know the meaning of the words F#m "I´m sorry" Em Gm I´m starting to believe it should be illegal D to deceive a woman´s heart I tried so hard to be attentive To all you wanted Always supportive, always patient What did I do wrong? Been wondering for days and hours It's clear, it isn't here where you belong Anyhow, anyhow I wish you both all the best I hope you get along Chorus - x2 D F#m Open heart G Open heart Bm A D It should be illegal to deceive a woman´s heart D F#m Open heart G Open heart Gm D It should be illegal to deceive a woman´s heart You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  Em  F#m  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
