You used to tell me that you loved me every day
B5             Ab5
I didn't know what to say
B5                   Ab5            B5
But there never any doubt I always knew
B5                Ab5
That to me you'd stay true
E5                           Ab5
But my heart never could be so poetic

So all my transgressions you permitted.

When I treated you that way
