   Gm7
We used to go out walking hand in hand
     F              D#          Gm7
You told me all the big things you had planned
   Gm7
It wasn't long 'til all your dreams came true
    F          D#         A#
Success put me in second place with you

     D#                    A#
You have no time to love me anymore
       F          D#                     A# Cm Dm
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
       D#                   A#
And I spend all my evenings all alone
    F               D#             Gm7
Success has made a failure of our home

If we could share an evening now and then
I'm sure we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
Oh, it's funny what success has done to you

Chorus

   F/A              Gm
Success has made a failure of our home

Gm7
I never changed
I'm still the same
I never changed
Stop what you're saying
You're killing me
And am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not?
