🎸 Verse 1: Susan Anway:
C majorC     G+G
We used to dance
DmDm     G+G      DmDm
Like it was going out of style
     G+G       DmDm
When you loved me for a while
  C majorC        Bb majorBb    A minorAm  G+G  FF E minorEm  G+G
And I remember every word you ever said, every kiss
C majorC     G+G
We used to sing
DmDm   G+G        DmDm
All the oldest songs we knew
    G+G        DmDm
But the words were never true
  C majorC          Bb majorBb   A minorAm  G+G FF    E minorEm   G+G
For you, or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark?

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC    A minorAm         G+G
All the sweetest things you said
              C majorC
And I believed were summer lies
    A minorAm      G+G
Hanging in the willow trees
              C majorC
Like the dead, were summer lies
   A minorAm      G+G
I'll never fall in love again


🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC      G+G
I whispered, too
DmDm   G+G         DmDm
But the things I said were true
   G+G        DmDm
And I gave up my whole world
  C majorC            Bb majorBb     A minorAm  G+G
For you, I gave you all the best years of my life
FF  E minorEm    G+G
And half the worst
C majorC       G+G
And now you're gone
DmDm     G+G       DmDm
I pine and wane, pale and wan
   G+G         DmDm
Never knowing when it's dawn
     C majorC          Bb majorBb   A minorAm  G+G FF  E minorEm   G+G
Curtains drawn, hiding in my room wasting away, cutting myself


🎸 Chorus:
C majorC    A minorAm         G+G
All the sweetest things you said
              C majorC
And I believed were summer lies
    A minorAm      G+G
Hanging in the willow trees
              C majorC
Like the dead, were summer lies
   A minorAm      G+G
I'll never fall in love again
