1.    It's over       our love affair,      too late now        I find I care,

G                         - C

    his sweet love        no more I'll share.

                      G             D                    G                             C

    Now he's gone, I'm alone, I was wrong, should have known,

                    G            D           G     - D

    took me home on our last date.

 

   G                     - C                     - G                 - C

2.    I search for       a single way       to tell him        what I had to say,

G                                             C

    I kissed him watched him walk away.

                    G             D          G          C

    Set him free foolishly, destiny, misery,

              G       D           G   

    tragedy on our last date.

 

+  D   +  instrumental = verse 2   +  G7

 

                    C                     D           G       - G7

+  Took the ring from my trembling fingers,

                       C                   D       G    - G7

    brushed a tear from my baby's eye.

                       C                D                G                  Em

    Walked away, didn't know that I'd soon miss him so,

Am                                   - C            D

    guess I was too young       to realise.

 

   E - A               - D                       - A                                    D

3.         So blind,      I couldn't see      how much he really meant to me.

A                                         D

    And that soon he would always be

                  A                 E                 A                    D

    on my mind, in my heart, I was blind from the start - - -
