[Intro Chords] | E | | B7 | E | [Verse 1]
E                                          A
Oh the love you promised would be mine forever.

  E                               B7
I would have bet my bottom dollar on. 

        E                                 A
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever. 

     E                B7                E
Just once I turned my back and you were gone. 
[Chorus]
E                                       A
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.

A        E                       B7
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.

B7       E                              A
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.

A       E                 B7                  E
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
[Lead Chords] | E | | A | | E | B7 | E | | [Verse 2]
E                            A
It amazes me not knowing any better, 

A       E                                B7
than to think I had a love that would be true.

B7     E                                  A
Well I should be taken out and tarred and feathered.

A       E             B7          E
To have let myself be taken in by you. 
[Chorus]
E                                       A
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.

A        E                       B7
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.

B7       E                              A
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.

A       E                 B7                  E
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
