  			Am                     D            G 
Baby won't you tell me why there is sadness in your eyes 
Am                    B7        Em   
I don't wanna say goodbye to you 
Am                 D     B7/D#              Em 
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget 
    Am                 D          G 
but there is something left in my head 
 
Am                        D      G 
You're the one who set it up now you're the one to make it stop 
Am                        B7            Em   
I'm the one who's feeling lost right now 
Am                 D      B7/D#                  Em 
Now you want me to forget every little thing you said 
    Am                 D          G 
but there is something left in my head 
	C          D          G 
I won't forget the way you're kissing 
		 Am          D              G 
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long 
		C        D        Em 
But I'm not the man your heart is missing 
	       Am   D    G 
That's why you go away I know  
Am                  D   G 
You were never satisfied no matter how I tried 
Am                    B7       Em   
Now you wanna say goodbye to me 
Am                 D     B7/D#              Em 
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget 
    Am                 D          G 
but there is something left in my head

Eb                F                     Bb 
Sitting here all alone is the middle of nowhere 
Am               D       G   
Don't know which way to go 
      Eb               F         Bb 
There ain't so much to say now between us 
      Am                D 
There ain't so much for you 
      Gm                Am7   F     
There ain't so much for me anymore
