[Verse]
E C#m B A
It cut like a knife through the morning light and hurt like I couldn't pretend
E C#m B A
She said "Thanks for the memories, but this is where we end"
E C#m B A
She said "In all honesty, I hoped it might work but it won't"
E C# B A
"Cos you're not the boy that you used to be, he had a spark and you don't"
[Pre-Chorus]
E C#m B A
I told her I'd change, it could still be the same but she said I was wasting my time
E C#m B A
With tears in my eyes I said "Love never dies" but she said that she'd made up her mind
E C#m B A
I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else
E C#m B A
If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!"
[Chorus]
E A C#m B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me?
E A C#m B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me?
E A C#m B E A
Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out
C#m A
My heart keeps calling -
[Verse]
E C#m B A
My body was paralysed and the doctor said there was no cure
E C#m B A
I'd never known anything to hurt that much before
E C#m B A
I tried to forget her face and I tried not to write her this song
E C#m B A
I went to my happy place, but I didn't stay long
[Pre-Chorus]
E C#m B A
I called out her name to the stars and the rain, I banged and I banged on her door
E C#m B A
She said "Look it's over, go home and get sober. I don't need your grief anymore."
E C#m B A
I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else
E C#m B A
If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!"
[Chorus]
E A C#m B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me?
E A C#m B
Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me?
E A C#m B E A
Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out
C#m A
