Sometimes I smile 
      C                             D   
When you stayed home for a while   
 D                        G

G 
I always cried 
       C                   D     
Each time you told a lie 
 D                        G 
What did you expect me to do 
      C 
Each time I forgave you 
           G 
You grew bolder 
          Am 
And each time you hurt me 
                D 
My heart grew colder 
 G 
Sure I loved you 
    C                     D     
But I found someone new 
 D                        G
