1.
   C      Am
Your love made a slave of me
     Em           Am
but the love you gave, you took away from me.
 C       Am
Foolishly, I believed in you.
    Em          Am
What a fool I was, thinking love was true.

 F           Am
Selfishly you broke my heart.
   G           Am
You really had me fooling from the start.
 F           Am
Still I have just one regret :
  G          Am
although you're gone, I can't forget.

 C          Em
Why when the love is gone,
 Am           F
why does my heart keep holding on ?
  C          Em
Oh why when the love is gone,
     Am           F
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on ?


2.
   C           Am
Your love was sweet when it started
      Em            Am
but now I find it leaves me broken hearted.
 C             Am
Why do you swear to always care
   Em           Am
then walk away and leave me in despair ?

 F
Selfishly ...
