Over [F] and over, over and [Dm] over
[G] Over and over and over
I know [C] it's over, [F] and it never really [G] began

That's [G] why you're on [Am] your own tonight _ _
[F] _ [G] _ [C] Your trials and your charms
Are [G] [Am] all there in each other's _ _ arms
[G] It's so [F] easy to laugh, it's so [G] easy to hate
