[Verse 1]
Since you turned me down all
  Bm
I do is ramble round
      A                          D
And I don’t care what happens to me
My heart was young and gay till
    Bm
the day you went away
    A                          D
Now life here means nothing to me

[Verse 2]
The words you said to me
      Bm
still haunts my memory
   A
It seems they’re on my mind
             D
both day and night
                          Bm
The lies that you told torture
my weary soul
        A
Love is blind I guess
           D
I couldn’t see
