Verse 1:
G (*Riff)
There you were, beautiful;
A5 G5 A5 G5
The promise of love was written on your face.
G (*Riff)
You led me on, with untrue kisses;
A5 G5 A5 G5
You held me captive in your false em-brace.
Bridge 1:
F5 C5
Quicker than I could bat an eye,
F5 C5
Seems you were telling me good-bye.
Chorus 1:
G5 C5 G5 C5
Just a minute ago your love was here,
G5 C5 G5 C5
All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear.
G5 C5 G5 C5
Sweetness was only heartache's camou-flage;
G5 C5 G5 C5
The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

Verse 2:
G (*Riff)
We used to meet in romantic places;
A5 G5 A5 G5
You gave the i-llusion that your love was real.
G (*Riff)
Now all that's left are lipstick traces;
A5 G5 A5 G5
From the kisses you only pre-tended to feel.
Bridge 2:
F5 C5
And now our meeting, you a-void,
F5 C5
And so my world, you have des-troyed.
Chorus 2:
G5 C5 G5 C5
Just a minute ago your love was here,
G5 C5 G5 C5
All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear.
G5 C5 G5 C5

The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

Bridge 3:
F5 C5
You only filled me with de-spair,
F5 C5
By showing love that wasn't there.
Chorus 3:
G5 C5 G5 C5
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man,
G5 C5 G5 C5
A green o-asis where there's only sand.
G5 C5 G5 C5
You lured me into something I should have dodged,
G5 C5 G5 C5
The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

G5 C5 G5 C5
The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.
