[G] [C] [G]
[C] [G]
Try aching every care in the world, [C] she's only [G] the most [A] beautiful [Em] girl.
The [C] more I think it, [D] the [A] badder it gets.
[N] I've just been alone when I was [A] caught in her [G] net.
[Em] Got me singing [Am] with a [D] broken [G] heart.
I [Em] keep on messing [Am] with my [G] mind's corner card.
[Em] She's already forgotten [A] me left [G] in the dust.
I [Em] guess my heart [Am] didn't help very [G] much.
Then the super love got [D] me [Gm] again.
Got me dreaming [D] I should almost win.
[G] I stopped to take a look around [D] with a [Em] grin.
[Cm] So much turmoil [D] in this crazy [G] town.
[Em] Got me bloody [Am] from [D] hitting the [G] bricks.
Is [Em] this the way the [Am] girl would get [D] their [G] kicks?
And [Em] now I see if [Am] this makes [D] a [G] difference.
[Em] Everyone in love [Am] hating [G] hurting each other.
Always thinking it's near the end.
Then I was hoping she'd be my friend.
Love forever only wishing again.
Oh to be alive and free from sin.
[Em] Psycho love [A] in the [D] twilight [G] zone.
[Em] Dripping so far [A] from the [D]
[G] telephone.
I get [C] so close [Am] but I don't [D]
[G] belong.
[Em] Straining to identify [Am] with the radio [D]
[G] talk.
Then I see her as if in a dream.
It's so real I could almost scream.
She's doing a ritual the same for [Am] any man.
[G] Just [C] like a movie [G] it's so deadpan.
[Em] Looking for love [Am] in [G] the darkness.
I [Em] haven't a chance [Am] at [D] false romance.
[G] Maybe [Em] next time [Am] I'll live for [G] something new.
I'm so [Em] ashamed so [Bm]
[G] unblue.
I've had enough and she'll never know.
I feel like staying but my subconscious says no.
Shed a tear like blood on the floor.
It's only love and nothing more.
Got [Em] me singing with [Am] a broken [G]
heart.
I keep [Em] on messing with [A] my mind torn [G]
apart.
She's already [Em] forgotten and [Am] we [G] left in the dark.
I guess [Em] my heart [A] can't [D] help very much.
