Chords

[Verse 1: Susan Anway]
C          G
We used to dance

Dm          G            Dm
Like it was going out of style

         G              Dm
When you loved me for a while

    C                Bb       Am   G   F Em    G
And I remember every word you ever said, every kiss

C          G
We used to sing

Dm      G               Dm
All the oldest songs we knew

        G                Dm
But the words were never true

    C                    Bb      Am    G  F       Em     G
For you, or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark?
[Chorus]
C       Am                  G
All the sweetest things you said

                           C
And I believed were summer lies

        Am            G
Hanging in the willow trees

                           C
Like the dead, were summer lies

     Am            G
I'll never fall in love again
[Verse 2]
C            G
I whispered, too

Dm      G                  Dm
But the things I said were true

      G                Dm
And I gave up my whole world

    C                       Bb         Am    G
For you, I gave you all the best years of my life

F   Em       G
And half the worst

C              G
And now you're gone

Dm         G              Dm
I pine and wane, pale and wan

      G                 Dm
Never knowing when it's dawn

         C                   Bb      Am    G  F   Em      G
Curtains drawn, hiding in my room wasting away, cutting myself
[Chorus]
C       Am                  G
All the sweetest things you said

                           C
And I believed were summer lies

        Am            G
Hanging in the willow trees

                           C
Like the dead, were summer lies

     Am            G
I'll never fall in love again
