Dm And while I'm resolving Bb C That door keeps revolving A D She cries and you want to hold her F#m E She lies and you're half way out the door F C But you never can do it F C D She'll make you go through it once more A D She smiles and you'll stay forever F#m She sings E Oh, she's got you now for sure F C And each time that you swear F Am That you will not give in F C She'll throw you a stare F Am That'll show you can't win Bb Dm Gm Dm C It's amazing how hard each man tries F But she cries Ab Eb All of a sudden Ab Eb You fall for her charms Ab Eb You promise you'll stop all her tears Ab Eb All of sudden Ab Eb She's back in your arms Db Eb E And the walls start closing Db Eb E And blocking out the light Db Eb E And changing all your dreams Db E And right before your eyes A She cries D And I don't know the answer F#m She spies E And there's no place I can hide F C When I look in the mirror F C D There's nothing but fear here inside A I run D And still she is right behind me F#m I fall E The chasm is too wide F C F Am So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique F C F Am Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week Bb Dm Gm Dm But each time I prepare my goodbyes Bb Well, she catches me looking Bbm C F And she opens the floodgates And she cries F
