A\t\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
I used to say "I love you"
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G
It wasn't really true
A\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
I wanted to believe it
A\t\t G+G A augmentedA G+G
And now I almost do
A augmentedA D\t A augmentedA G+G
I used to say "I love you"
A\t G+G A augmentedA G+G
I said it as a threat
A\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
Or maybe as a promise
A\t G+G A augmentedA G+G
To see what I could get

And I've lost my illusions about you now

\t\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
I used to say "I love you"
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G
It wasn't what I meant
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
What I really meant was
A\t G\tA G+G
"Come on in my tent"
A augmentedA \t D\tA G+G
But you were reluctant
A augmentedA G\tA G+G
Although I was so hot
A\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
Now I understand it
A\t\t G\tA G+G
But back then I did not
Chorus:

Verse:
D\t A augmentedA G+G
And now if I should see you
A\t G\t A augmentedA G+G
Or call you on the phone (mm-hmm)
A\t\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
I wonder who's that person
A augmentedA G\t A augmentedA G+G
I could never call my own
A augmentedA \t\t D\t A augmentedA G+G
Although I kind of like you
A\t G+G A augmentedA G+G
I'll never understand
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
Why I got so excited
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G
Each time that we held hands

'Cause it just isn't real anymore
D-F#m\t G+G E7E7
And I've lost my illusions about you now
