[Verse 1]
       Dm               Am7
Let me tell you about a friend,
          Dm             Am7    Gm7  G7sus4   Gm7  Am7
She con - tends she will always love me------,
              Dm        Am7          Dm
It's this a - bility to lie and de - ceive,
         Am7           Gm7     G7sus4     Gm7  Am7
That has lost me com - pletely---------!

[Verse 2]
Dm       Am7      Dm        Am7     Gm7     G7sus4  Gm7  Am7

Dm       Am7      Dm        Am7     Gm7     G7sus4  Gm7  Am7
    La - la, la - la!  La - la, la, la - la------------!

[Verse 3]
             Dm              Am7
I could re - mind her of the facts,
         Dm                  Am7
Make her calm down, and re - lax,
     Gm7               G7sus4  Gm7   Am7
But,   ...why bother?
         Dm              Am7          Dm               Am7
It's the shallowest de - fense, to my utter astonish - ment,
      Gm7    G7sus4     Gm7    Am7
It is over----------!

[Verse 4]
Dm       Am7    Dm        Am7      Gm7     G7sus4  Gm7  Am7
    That little girl, she wants to leave me-------,
Dm       Am7    Dm          Am7       Gm7   G7sus4   Am7
    That little girl, wants something more---------,
Am7             Dm              Am7
     I'm opti - mistically in - clined,
      Dm                      Am7 
Given time, she'll change her mind,
              Gm7    G7sus4     Gm7
E|t's| ...un - likely---------!

[Verse 5]
Am7        Dm               Am7

She con - tends she will always love me---------,
Dm          Am7         Dm        Am7
     If you look at her sideways,
          Gm7          G7sus4     Gm7   Am7
She will let you know---------!

[Verse 6]
Dm       Am7       Dm      Am7         Gm7
    To - day's the day the earth stole heaven,
       G7sus4   Gm7   Am7
(Stole heaven!)
Dm        Am7         Dm      G7sus4 F                  Dm/A

Dm         Am7         Dm        Am7
    If you look at her sideways,
          Gm7          G7sus4    Gm7       Am7
There can be no doubt--------,     ...it's over!
