     G7       C
Ooh, this old heart of mine,
             Em
Been broke a thousand times,
              F
Each time you break away,
Em7            Dm7
 I fear you've gone to stay.
G7      C
 Lonely nights that come,
     Em
Memo-ries that flow,
             F
Bringing you back again,
Em          Dm7      Em7
 Hurting me more and more.

Bridge 1:

Dm7         G
 Maybe it's my mistake,
   Em
To show this love,
          Am7
I feel in-side.
Dm7
 'Cause each day,
     G
That passes by,
       Dm7
You've got me,
      Em
Never knowin',
       F         G
If I'm comin' or goin',
But I;

I love you,

 Darling,

I love you,

Yes I do,
      Dm7
Yes I do.

Verse 2:

G7         C
 These old arms of mine,
            Em
Miss having you around,
           F            Em7
Make these tears inside,
      Dm7     Em7
Start falling down.

Bridge 2:

Dm7          G
 Always with half a kiss,
       Em
You re-mind me,
          Am7
Of what I miss.
Dm7
 Though I try to,
    G
Con-trol myself,
       Dm7
Like a fool,
        Em
I start grinnin',
        F
'Cos my head,
       G
Starts spinnin',
'Cos I;

Yes I do.

Verse 3:

G7     C
 I try hard,
           Em
To hide my hurt inside,
         F
This old heart of mine,
       Em7      Dm7
Always keeps me cryin'.
G7              C
 The way you're treatin' me,
          Em
Leaves me incomplete.
       F
You're here for the day,
Em    Dm7     Em7
 Gone for the week.

Bridge 3:

Dm7
 But if you leave me,
  G
A hundred times;
  Em
A hundred times,
              Am7
I'll take you back.
Dm7             G
 I'm yours when-ever,
You want me,
        Dm7
I'm not too proud,
   Em
To shout it,
F                 G
 Tell the world a-bout it,
'Cos I;
