A               D 
 I'm a fool now that it's over 
E 
 Can you guess my name? 
A               D 
 I make my money singing songs about you 
E 
 It's my claim to fame 
A               D 
 When they say it's over 
E 
 It's not all over, there's still the pain 


D 
 I'd come running 
E                         A 
 I'd come running back to you again 
D  
 Oh I'd come running 
E                         A 
 I'd come running back to you again 


A                D 
 If I said I was sorry 
E 
 Would you still leave me? 
A                D 
 I never thought you'd go 'till you did 
E 
 Believe me 
A                D 
 When they say it's over 
E 
 It's not all over completely 


D 
 'Cause I'd come running 
E                         A 
 I'd come running back to you again

 Yes I'd come running 
E                         A 
 I'd come running back to you again

A              D 
 The show is over 
E 
 and we must all go home 
A              D 
 Just leave me by myself 
E 
 I'll be alright here on my own 
A              D 
 If it's all over, it's all over 
E 
 And I'm all alone 


D 
 And I'd come running 
E                         A 
 I'd come running back to you again 
              D

 I'd come running back to you again 


D                       E           A 
Oh ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma 
   D                     E                 A 
Oh tra la la la la la la la la la la la la la la  
      D                    E              A 
Oh na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
