[Verse]
  A              D         A G
I used to say "I love you"
   A             G    A G
It wasn't really true
  A           D       A G
I wanted to believe it
    A            G    A G
And now I almost do

  A              D         A G
I used to say "I love you"
  A            G      A G
I said it as a threat
   A          D       A G
Or maybe as a promise
   A                G   A G
To see what I could get

[Chorus]
A      D             Dmaj7    C    G
But my heart doesn't break anymore
      D             Dmaj7   C      G
No my heart doesn't ache anymore
          Em            D       C
'Cause it just couldn't take anymore
         D F#m       G        E7
And I've lost   my illusions about you now

                 D         A G
I used to say "I love you"
   A             G     A G
It wasn't what I meant
A             D         A G
What I really meant was
 A             G        A G
"Come on in my tent"

A              D        A G
But you were reluctant
  A               G     A G
Although I was so hot
A          D        A G
Now I understand it
    A               G   A G
But back then I did not

[Chorus]
A      D             Dmaj7   C     G
But my heart doesn't wear anymore
      D             Dmaj7   C      G
No my heart doesn't care anymore
          Em          D        C
'Cause my heart isn't there anymore
         D F#m      G        E7
And I've lost  my illusions about you now

                    D      A G
And now if I should see you
   A               G       A G
Or call you on the phone (mm-hmm)
  A                 D      A G
I wonder who's that person
        A             G    A G
I could never call my own

  A                D        A G
Although I kind of like you
     A          G     A G
I'll never understand
    A          D      A G
Why I got so excited
     A                 G    A G
Each time that we held hands

[Chorus]
          D             Dmaj7   C    G
'Cause my heart doesn't feel anymore
      D             Dmaj7    C     G
No my heart doesn't wheel anymore
          Em         D       C
'Cause it just isn't real anymore
         D F#m       G        E7
And I've lost   my illusions about you now
