           G(*Riff) (320003@1)You led me on, with untrue kisses;

F (133211@1)                          C (x32010@1)Quicker than I could bat an eye,

           G(*Riff) (320003@1)We used to meet in romantic places;

               G(*Riff) (320003@1)Now all that's left are lipstick traces;

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