verse 1
A E
Oh, at first it was just like heaven in your heart and in your arms
E7 A
And paradise discovered in the sweetness of your charms
E
Yes, and every day a miracle to awake and be with you
E7 A
And every night in your embrace another dream come true
E
But castles sometimes crumble some rivers still run dry
E7 A
And fairy tales are witches tales when the truth becomes a lie"
E
And a pocket full of promises won't buy a diamond ring
E7 A
And every word you said to me just didn't mean a thing
D E A
It's over now, you've gone too far i can't take anymore
D E A
Be careful now - don't hurt yourself when you walk through that door
D E A D
I can hardly stand to look at you it makes me want to cry
A E A
Get your tongue out of my mouth because i'm kissing you goodbye!
verse 2
A E
Now i suppose i'll never know why things turned out this way
E7 A
And why the one you love the most is the one you drove away?
E
Yes, and i suppose i'll never, ever really understand
E7 A
How i could think that you'd make me a happy married man
A E
So now i sit and contemplate the reason for it all
E7 A
The climb to heights of ecstasy the failure and the fall
E
If a broken heart is purposeful it's in the lesson learned
E7 A
No matter what the reason is it hurts when you get burned
D E A
Now i don't care, i don't think i'll ever love again
D E A
"kemosabe" used to me good and trusted friend
D E A D
But now it stands for therapy and all the tears i cry
A E A
Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause i'm kissing you goodbye!
D A E A
Bye, bye. bye, bye.
