[E]
[F#m] [F#]
[G#] [E] [F#] [F#m]
[Am] [E]
What do you do when it's all behind you everyday?
Something else reminds [F#m] you when the times were sweet
Wings on your [G#] feet [E] and bells on your [F#] [F#m] toes
Only [C] heaven [E] knows
What do you do when you've lost the feeling, nowhere to go
You've reached the [F#m] ceiling, back down on the floor
[F#] No window, no door, [E] yeah, [F#m] everything's closed
And only [Am] heaven [E] knows
[C#] Love is a [G#m] treat, a magical [A] feat, illusion [E] or for real
[C#m] You're never quite [G#m] sure if it's true what you [B] feel
Or something [F#] [G#m] that [B] you [E] [C] felt [E] before
[B] [D#] [E] What do you do when you know you're losing?
Sit on your ass and let the [F#m] blues in
Think of what you had [F#] and how it all went [G#] bad
[E] You send her [F#] a rose
[F#m] And only [C] heaven [E] knows
Love [F#m]
[F#] [G#] [E]
[F#] [F#m]
[Am] [E]
[C#m] is a treat, [G#m] a magical feat, [A] illusion or [E] for real
[C#m] You're never quite sure [G#m] if it's true what you feel
[B] Or something [F#]
[B] that you [E] [C] felt [E] before
[D#] [E] What do you do when it's all behind you everyday?
Something else [F#m] reminds you when the times were sweet
[F#] Wings on your [G#] feet [E] and bells on [F#] your [F#m] toes
Only [Am]
heaven [E] knows
[Bm] Only [Am]
heaven [E] knows
[B] Only [F#m]
[Am] heaven [E] knows
Only heaven [F#m] knows
