And you can be sure that I won't cry

Our love is just a faded story 
                     G     Dm7 
I'm walking down the road 
                       C      G

There was once that sweet lullaby 
                                       G  Dm7 
And were all those promises just lies 
                   G                 Dm7 
Well, I was just a fool to love you 
               G     Dm7 
I knew it all along 
                     C        G        F 
I can't look down, I know I'm falling

Bridge 
         G 
When you act the way you do 
          F      G   C 
I want to scream and shout 
    Dm7       G       C 
You keep on a-playing games 
  Am 
I walk around the block 
      F                  C       G 
And I think maybe you'll change 
    Dm7          G                  F   G      C 
But just when it seems we've got it all worked out 
Dm7       G       C     Em 
You start naming names 
                     D                C      G 
I don't believe that I was the one to blame 

Verse 
    C    G          C           G  C 
Any maybe next time you'll cry 
                                     G  Dm7 
When someone like me says good-bye 
                          G                Dm7 
You'll wake up when she's gone and wonder 
                      G   Dm7 
How you could let her go 
                    C     G      F 
But look at me, I'm going under 

          C          G    F 
'Cause, I can't hold on 
  C          G    F 
I can't hold on 
  C          G     C              F 
I can't hold on anymore, no more 

  C          G    F 
I can't hold on 
  C          G    F 
I can't hold on 
  C          G     C 
I can't hold on anymore
