C Am
You told me that you'd stay with me
C G
And shelter me forever
C Am
That was a hard promise to keep
C G C
I can't blame you for the bad weather
C Am
After all that has been said and done
C G
I won't ask you where you're going
C Am
Don't keep in touch, I don't miss you much
C G C
Except sometimes early in the morning
C Am
Now use your silver tongue once more
C G
There's one thing that I’d like to know
C Am
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
C G C
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me?

I just can't forgive your bad manners
C Am
Now use your silver tongue once more
C G
There's one thing that I’d like to know
C Am
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
C G C
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me?
