#1
C F G7 C Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms F G7 C Cause darling now I love you so just say you love me to F G7 C My fondest dreams depend on you to make my life complete F G7 C My love for you will never die no matter what you do
#2

---Then play (basically just play as fancy as you like, the "forth"
or last line of #1, then pick up on #2 and start singing again
as is below for the ending...
F C G7 C The world will go on living dear but no one else will do F C Am D7 G7 So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you C F G7 C Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms F G7 C Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to --you
End
-------------------
An alternate #2. (Note the additional chords. I've heard
it played a bit fancier this way...) I actually prefer it this way.
F G F C G7 C The world will go on living dear but no one else will do F G F C Am D7 G7 So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you C F G7 C Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms F G7 C Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to you
---Play and start singing as in the above 'simplier' version
then pickup the same way as below for the end:
F G F C G7 C The world will go on living dear but no one else will do F G F C Am D7 G7 So say that we can start anew cause darling I love you C F G7 C Don't use my heart for a stepping stone to someone else's arms F G7 C Cause darling now I love you so my heart belongs to --you
(and then end.)
I hope you enjoy it! ---Beowolff
