[Intro]
Ebm Bbm x4

[Verse]
Ebm      Bbm
You said you'd never fake it
Ebm       Bbm                 B
You swore we'd always make it last
          Abm     Db
And it sounded so real
    Ebm    Bbm
And I fell into your love trap
Ebm         Bbm               B
Blind, yes, I was the perfect fool
  Abm            Db
I believed every word
       B       Db               Ebm
And it never occurred to me

[Pre-Chorus]
           Bbm7
Is this a game?
             B
Are you just playing?
          D  B        Bbm x2
Will I be losing you?

[Chorus]
         Ebm        Ab              Fm
Oh am I a victim of love, victim of love
        Bbm     Bb    Ebm
Did you take me for a ride?
          Ab              Fm
Victim of love, victim of love
       Bbm         Bb    Ebm
Then I hope you're satisfied
          Ab              Fm
Victim of love, victim of love
         Bbm  Bb    Ebm
Were you only using me?
          Ab              Fm
Victim of love, victim of love
       Bbm      Bb      Ebm
What a fool you made of me

[Interlude]
Ebm Bbm x2

[Verse]
Ebm        Bbm
My friends warned me about you
Ebm        Bbm                    B
I laughed, how could I doubt your love?
       Abm          Db
Then I saw you with him
    Ebm      Bbm
And my world crumbled around me
Ebm    Bbm                 B
I felt life slip away from me
          Abm         Db
There’s a void inside me
         B             Db
Where my heart used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
   Ebm             Bbm7
So now, this was a game
              B
You were just playing
             D  B     Bbm x2
And now I'm losing you

[Chorus]
   Ebm             Ab              Fm
Oh I’m a victim of love, victim of love
          Bbm     Bb    Ebm
Well, you took me for a ride
          Ab              Fm
Victim of love, victim of love
        Bbm          Bb  Ebm
Well, I hope you’re satisfied
          Ab              Fm
Victim of love, victim of love
         Bbm Bb     Ebm
You were only using me
          Ab              Fm
Victim of love, victim of love
       Bbm         Bb      Ebm
What a fool you’ve made of me
