C                              G7 
Oh foolish heart why won’t you believe 
                                                C 
Your softness and stubbornness has caused me to grieve 
                                            F 
Still pining for someone who can never come back 
  G7                                       C 
I know that’s so but I can’t tell my heart that 

                                      G7 
I can’t tell my heart that you are no good 
                              C 
I’d give this world if only I could 
                                      F 
You cheated and lied then you left me flat 
   G7                                      C 
Oh yes it’s true but I can’t tell my heart that 

                                        G7 
My heart still cries out it wasn’t long ago 
                                                C 
That we were together and you said you loved me so 
                                             F 
Oh somewhere out there it don’t matter where at 
   G7                                          C 
To you I’m forgotten but I can’t tell my heart that 

                                      G7 
I can’t tell my heart that you are no good 
                              C 
I’d give this world if only I could 
                                      F 
You cheated and lied then you left me flat 
   G7                                      C 
Oh yes it’s true but I can’t tell my heart that
