Intro:  A  Em  G  D (2x) 

  A                                 Em 
I don't know who I thought I was, I guess I tried to love you,  
 G                                    D 
Because I thought I could afford, to take the risk and take a chance, 
  A                                Em             
I do not know who I thought I was fooling,  
                    G 
I must have felt invincible in your arms,  
              D 
Like I could take the whole world on. 


         A                   D 
But it's easier for me, to believe that you are lying to me, 
A                            E 
When you say you love me and when you say you need me, 
         A                      D 
Yes it's easier for me to walk away and get on with my life, 
      A 
If I believe that you're deceiving me,  
      Em                               G                      D                      A 
If I believe that you'd be leaving me one day, be leaving me one day, be leaving me one day. 


  A                                   Em      
I wish that I could make you see, but clearly that is not to be,  
       G                                    D 
'Cause you will not be swayed by me, you've made it clear, you must be free,  
   A                                Em                               G 
I would have sacrificed for you, I would have been so loyal and so true,  
                                 D     
But gifts this precious can't be offered up by fools 


         A                   D 
And it's easier for me, to believe that you are lying to me, 
A                            E 
When you say you love me and when you say you need me, 
         A                      D 
Yes it's easier for me to walk away and get on with my life, 
      A 
If I believe that you're deceiving me,  
      Em                               G                      D                      A 
If I believe that you'd be leaving me one day, be leaving me one day, be leaving me one day. 


G                             C                      
What's done is done, I cannot change the way I feel,  
     A                              Dm 
and what's more I am certain that I don't regret a single thing,  
        Gm             C         
but sometimes I really miss your sweet sweet love  
    F                                    D 
and wish that I'd wake up and this would all be just a dream 


Instrumental: A  Em  G  D  A  Em  G  D 


         A                   D 
And it's easier for me, to believe that you are lying to me, 
A                            E 
When you say you love me and when you say you need me, 
         A                      D 
Yes it's easier for me to walk away and get on with my life, 
      A 
If I believe that you're deceiving me,  
      Em                               G                      D                      A 
If I believe that you'd be leaving me one day, be leaving me one day, be leaving me one day.
