A                       D
Everyone knows it's all over 
  E7                              A
I told them the things that we've planned
                       D              
But they never see you walking with me 
    B7                 E7
And somehow they don't understand
 
A          E7               A
All that's left for us is sorrow 
      E7             A
And a pair of broken hearts
        E7             A
We must face each blue tomorrow 
E7                    A
With a pair of broken hearts
 
D                     A
True love never has a chance dear 
D                      A
When a foolish quarrel starts
      E7           A
So we paid for our romance dear 
E7                    A
With a pair of broken hearts
 
D                     A
True love never has a chance dear 
D                      A
When a foolish quarrel starts
      E7           A
So we paid for our romance dear 
E7                    A
With a pair of broken hearts
