[Verse] E C#m B A It cut like a knife through the morning light and hurt like I couldn't pretend E C#m B A She said "Thanks for the memories, but this is where we end" E C#m B A She said "In all honesty, I hoped it might work but it won't" E C# B A "Cos you're not the boy that you used to be, he had a spark and you don't" [Pre-Chorus] E C#m B A I told her I'd change, it could still be the same but she said I was wasting my time E C#m B A With tears in my eyes I said "Love never dies" but she said that she'd made up her mind E C#m B A I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else E C#m B A If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!"
[Chorus] E A C#m B Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me? E A C#m B Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me? E A C#m B E A Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out C#m A My heart keeps calling - [Verse] E C#m B A My body was paralysed and the doctor said there was no cure E C#m B A I'd never known anything to hurt that much before E C#m B A I tried to forget her face and I tried not to write her this song E C#m B A I went to my happy place, but I didn't stay long [Pre-Chorus] E C#m B A I called out her name to the stars and the rain, I banged and I banged on her door E C#m B A She said "Look it's over, go home and get sober. I don't need your grief anymore." E C#m B A I begged and I pleaded, I told her I needed her like I need nobody else E C#m B A If I've made a mistake well what more can I say than "I'm sorry for being myself!" [Chorus] E A C#m B Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you loved me? E A C#m B Joanna, what's the matter? I thought you'd save me? E A C#m B E A Joanna, what's the matter? My heart keeps calling out C#m A
