I'd never sing of love

Well maybe I know somewhere
F#m
deep in my soul
E
That love never lasts

And we've got to find other

ways to make it alone

Or keep a straight face
B
And I've always lived like
F#m
this keeping a comfortable

And up until now i swored
to myself that I'm

content with loneliness
E
Because none of it was
ever worth the
risk Well...
