1. All that I have is all that you've given me.

                                                Am

    Did you ever worry that I'd come to depend on you ?

                                                Dm

    I gave you all the love I had in me,

                                        E    - Am

    and now I find you've lied          and I can't believe it's true.

2. Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street,

                                                             Am

    and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's goin on.

                                                                   Dm

    Oh, you talk of love but you don't know how it feels,

                          E   - Am

    when you realise           that you're not the only one.

 

Am         C                 F        E           Am               Dm

Oh oh, you'd better stop before you tear me all apart,

3. Time after time I tried to walk away,

                                                        Am

    but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two.

                                               - Dm

    So I just resign myself to it          everyday,

                          E                  Am

    now all I can do is leave it up to you.

 

Am         C                 F        E           Am               Dm
