    A            F#7                 B7
You only want to break my heart once more

     E7                              A
With promises that you'll keep every vow

       A                A7             D
You've told me that you loved me so so many times before

   E7                            A
So how can I be sure you love me now?
[Verse 2]
    A                  F#7             B7
Sometimes, I dream I'm in your arms' embrace

     E7                             A
And, oh, how happy you once made me there

    A            A7             D
But every time I trust in you, another takes my place

   E7                           A
So how can I be sure you really care?
[Guitar Solo] A A7 D E7 A [Verse 3]
    A                 F#7           B7
You count me in, then count me out again

    E7                               A
You play with me just like a toy and yet

    A               A7                 D
You make my heart believe in you, then leave that same old pain

   E7                             A
So how can I be sure you won't forget?
[Verse 4]
    A              F#7          B7
I'm only sure I'll never love a new

     E7                       A
Your memory is in my heart to stay

    A                A7                 D
And foolish me, I'll still be here with open arms for you

    E7                             A
For how can I be sure you'll stay away?
