  			G             C              G 
If I listened long enough to you, 
           C        D                   G G7 
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true. 
A7               D             C     D7      G 
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried. 
          C              G           D - D7 
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe. 
 
             C            D                G   C        D 
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else. 
             C            D             G                D D7 
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think of myself. 
 
G             C                 G 
If I gave you time to change my mind, 
           C      D                G G7 
I'd find a way to leave the past behind. 
A7               D             C     D7      G 
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried. 
          C              G            D - D7 
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe.
