........What did I do to win your love

C/G
Cause I'm afraid of everything
G              C/G
everything that romance brings
Em                 D              C/G
The freely given gifts that you can't repay
C/G                               G                 C/G
Sad goodbyes in darkened halls, telephones, and most of all
    Em                  D            G
I'm scared I'm gonna break your heart some day

....crazy love's got a mind of its own
Em           C/G              G           Em
....You can't fight it once it staaaaaaaaaarts
G        D          G
you cant help it if it don't

The freely given gifts you can't repay

Sad goodbyes in darkened halls, telephones, and most of all

I'm scared I'm gonna break your heart some day
    Em                  D            G
I'm scared I'm gonna break your heart some day
