G (*Riff), Am G, Am G Verse 1: G (*Riff) There you were, beautiful;
    Am         G                Am      G
The promise of love was written on your face.
G (*Riff) You led me on, with untrue kisses;
    Am      G               Am       G
You held me captive in your false em-brace.
Bridge 1:
F                            C
 Quicker than I could bat an eye,

F                               C
 Seems you were telling me good-bye.
Chorus 1:
G       C               G        C
 Just a minute ago your love was here,

G         C                    G     C
 All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear.

G              C                G     C
 Sweetness was only heartache's camou-flage;

G           C              G         C
 The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

Verse 2: G (*Riff) We used to meet in romantic places;
    Am         G                 Am       G
You gave the i-llusion that your love was real.
G (*Riff) Now all that's left are lipstick traces;
         Am         G        Am        G
From the kisses you only pre-tended to feel.
Bridge 2:
F                           C
 And now our meeting, you a-void,

F                              C
 And so my world, you have des-troyed.
Chorus 2:
G       C               G        C
 Just a minute ago your love was here,

G         C                    G     C
 All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear.

G            C                   G         C
 The way you wrecked my life was like sabo-tage,

G           C              G         C
 The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

Bridge 3:
F                           C
 You only filled me with de-spair,

F                            C
 By showing love that wasn't there.
Chorus 3:
G              C              G       C
 Just like the desert shows a thirsty man,

G          C                  G    C
 A green o-asis where there's only sand.

G             C              G             C
 You lured me into something I should have dodged,

G           C              G         C
 The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

 Just like the desert shows a thirsty man,

G          C                  G    C
 A green o-asis where there's only sand.

G             C              G             C
 You lured me into something I should have dodged,

G           C              G         C
 The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.
