Illegal by Shakira feat. Carlos Santana

Intro: D - Bm

Em                      A
Who would have thought that you could hurt me
                     Em                         A
The way you've done it? So deliberate, so determined
                          Em (Riff 1)             A
And since you have been gone I bite my nails for days and hours
      Em                          A
And question my own questions on and on

F#m     Bm (Riff 2)
So tell me now,
 F#m     Bm (Riff 3)
tell me now
                G
why you're so far away
               A
when I'm still so close.

  D                                               F#m
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
                     G
You said you would love me until you die
                Bm                 A
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
   (Riff 4)
  D                                              F#m    F#m-Fm-Em
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
                                       Gm
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal
                       D    Bm (Riff 5)
to deceive a woman's heart.

Em                      A       (Riff 6)
I tried so hard to be attentive
             Em                                A    (Riff 7)
To all you wanted always supportive, always patient
             Em    (Riff 8)               A    (Riff 9)
What did I do wrong? I'm wondering for days and hours
    Em                                  A
It's here, it isn't here where you belong.

F#m  Bm (Riff 3) F#m  Bm
Anyhow,           anyhow
            G  (Riff 10)
I wish you both all the best
                 A
I hope you get along.

D
But you don't even know the meaning
                   F#m
of the words "I'm sorry"
                     G
You said you would love me until you die
                Bm                 A
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
   (Riff 11)
  D                                              F#m    F#m-Fm-Em
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
                                       Gm
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal
                       D    Bm
to deceive a woman's heart.
