                    D
Listen, don't turn away now
C                  F                    G
You know there's a first time for these feelings
                         D
Speak to me, show me the way now
C                F                Dm          G
Are my hopes all empty dreams, or must we say goodbye
 
 
           C                       G
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
           C         F           G
Didn't you know my defenses were down
              Em              Am
Now all those words we left unspoken
          F                  G
Turned my whole world upside down
 
 
             C               G
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
          C       F              G
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
       Em                 Am
Only a fool believes he's winning
          F               G
When he's lost his ace of hearts
       C
Only a fool

                    D
Please, don't walk away now
C          F                 G
Why do you hurt me with your silence
                                     D
I can't understand this game you are playing
C                F            Dm             G
Lately it's been on my mind I had to let you know
 
 
           C                       G
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
           C         F           G
