Difficulty: Novice

Intro:

F-F-Dm-Dm
(You can hammer on the open G+G string to the second fret before strumming the FF

Verse 1:

FF                 DmDm
Every night and every day my heart feels the pain
 FF                  DmDm
I wake up to the thought of you and I call your name

Brige 1:

Bb majorBb              C majorC    DmDm
No one ever made me feel the way you do
Bb majorBb                C majorC   DmDm
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
  Bb majorBb         C majorC
But now I've got to let go

Chorus:
     FF
We don't stand a chance
             DmDm
In this wild romance, my tender heart
          Bb majorBb
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
    C majorC
With my tender heart.
     FF
We don't stand a chance
             DmDm
In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad
             Bb majorBb
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
          C majorC
I can't hold on to my tender heart

Verse 2.

 FF                   DmDm
I never thought I'd be the one who would play the fool
  FF                  DmDm
But I know love can feel so good and can be so cruel

Bridge 2:

Bb majorBb               C majorC   DmDm
It's clear to me the writing is on the wall
Bb majorBb                   C majorC     DmDm
It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all
Bb majorBb           C majorC
And I can't go on this way

(Chorus)

Interlude:

G minorGm         A minorAm
I'm standing at the door
G minorGm         A minorAm
Don't need this hurt no more
G minorGm        A minorAm
I'm crying out in vain
        C majorC
Cause you don't feel my pain.

(Solo)

Bridge 3:
Bb majorBb              C majorC    DmDm
Maybe it was always going to be this way
Bb majorBb              C majorC     DmDm
Maybe I'll look back and understand some day
Bb majorBb         C majorC
But now I've got to say
