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

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


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


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