D
The more you criticize me
G
the more I know I'm right
D
I just cant stop this need for you
C Cmaj7 A7
to help me through the night
D
and though you treat me badly
G
treat me like a slave
D
sure no one would believe it
C Cmaj7 A7
the way that you behave
G
Sometimes I dare to wonder
A
is there life after you
G
could my heart stand the loneliness
A
could my head see it through
and I say
G
oo oo oo oo
D A
oo oo oo oo oo
G
oo oo oo oo
D A
oo oo oo oo oo
I thought that we were perfect
the best there'd ever been
I would be your gypsy king
and you would be my queen
but real life just ain't like that
and so before to long
my sweet and happy melody
became a sadder song
And though the tune is different
that old familiar blues
there is nothing I would change in us
there is nothing I could lose
and I say
oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
