G                  D
This is my final affair

It's over and now I don't care

I've been in love and I found
A
 It hurts, when your heart's

 kicked around (oohoo, oohoo)

[Verse 2]
     G                   D
It's too much, to ask of someone
              A7
To give their love,
                D
their heart and all
   G                     D
To someone who's only pretending
    E7
And calls you a fool,
         A     E        A
when you fall (when you fall)

[Chorus 2]
D          G       D
This is my final romance
             G           D
I know, it's not worth a chance
                        A
My heart's beyond all repair
                       D
And this is my final affair
 G       D
(final affair)
