Bridge 3:
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)You only filled me with de-spair,

Chorus 3:
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)Just like the desert shows a thirsty man,
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)A green o-asis where there's only sand.
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)You lured me into something I should have dodged,
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.
