F Bb
Oh the love you promised would be mine forever
F C
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
F Bb
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
F C F
Just once I turned my back and you were gone
F Bb
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
F C
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
F Bb
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
F C F
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
F Bb
It amazes me not knowing any better
F C
Than to think I had a love that would be true
F Bb
Why I should be taken out tarred and feathered
F C F
To have let myself be taken in by you
F Bb
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
F C
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
F Bb
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
F C F
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
