[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
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?
