1.
   C majorC      A minorAm
Your love made a slave of me
     E minorEm           A minorAm
but the love you gave, you took away from me.
 C majorC       A minorAm
Foolishly, I believed in you.
    E minorEm          A minorAm
What a fool I was, thinking love was true.

 FF           A minorAm
Selfishly you broke my heart.
   G+G           A minorAm
You really had me fooling from the start.
 FF           A minorAm
Still I have just one regret :
  G+G          A minorAm
although you're gone, I can't forget.

 C majorC          E minorEm
Why when the love is gone,
 A minorAm           FF
why does my heart keep holding on ?
  C majorC          E minorEm
Oh why when the love is gone,
     A minorAm           FF
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on ?


2.
   C majorC           A minorAm
Your love was sweet when it started
      E minorEm            A minorAm
but now I find it leaves me broken hearted.
 C majorC             A minorAm
Why do you swear to always care
   E minorEm           A minorAm
then walk away and leave me in despair ?

 FF
Selfishly ...
