      C            Am
Your love made a slave of me

         Em                      Am
but the love you gave, you took away from me.

  C             Am
Foolishly, I believed in you.

        Em                   Am
What a fool I was, thinking love was true.

 F                      Am
Selfishly you broke my heart.

     G                     Am
You really had me fooling from the start.

  F                      Am
Still I have just one regret :

    G                    Am
although you're gone, I can't forget.

 C                    Em
Why when the love is gone,

 Am                     F
why does my heart keep holding on ?

    C                    Em
Oh why when the love is gone,

         Am                     F
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on ?

      C                      Am
Your love was sweet when it started

           Em                       Am
but now I find it leaves me broken hearted.

 C                          Am
Why do you swear to always care

     Em                     Am
then walk away and leave me in despair ?

 F
Selfishly ...
