Verse 1:
E MajorE          BB
Used to be I was the object of affection
C# minorC#m   E MajorE   E7E7
In your eyes alone
A augmentedA                BB

      E MajorE     BB     A augmentedA
And you're leavin' me out in the cold


Verse 2:
E MajorE            BB
If you're gonna break my heart go on and break it
C# minorC#m     E MajorE      E7E7
 No, I don't need you no more

I tried so hard and now my will is breakin'
E MajorE    BB  A augmentedA
And baby even more
A augmentedA
I still love you

Just to look into your eyes

Stumblin' around the dark
