    D
If you, if you could return
              A
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
                        C
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
                  G
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
        D
And I swore, I swore I would be true
                  A
And honey so did you
                             C
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
                        G
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

Chorus:
               D
But I'm in so deep
                     A
You know I'm such a fool for you
                                C
You got me wrapped around your finger
                       G
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
                       D
do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you

Chorus - x3
