If Dyou, if you could reDturn
don't let it A6/Aburn
don't let it A6/Afade
C/C~
I'm sure I'm happier
C/C~
but it's just your attitude
it's tearing me aGpart
it's ruining everyGday
I swDore, I swore I would be A6/Atrue
but honey so did A6/Ayou
C/C~
so why were you holding her hand
C/C~
is that the way we stand
were you lying all the Gtime
was it just a game to Gyou
Chorus
------
[chord progression: D A6/A C/C~ G (same as verse)]
But I miss Dyou
you know I'm such a A6fool for Ayou
C/C~

do you Ghave to let it Dlinger
Verse
-----
Guitar I - single chord strums with tremelo/echo effect
Guitar II - strumming
Oh, I thought I loved you
I thought that nothing could go wrong
but I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
trying not to lie
things wouldn't be so confused
and I wouldn't feel so used
but you always ruin you
I just wanna be with you
Chorus
------
and I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger
do you have to
do you have to
do you have to let it linger
[Slide guitar]
and I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger
do you have to
do you have to
do you have to let it linger
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger
do you have to
do you have to
do you have to let it linger
