[Verse 1]
N.C.            A  
Me cansé de rogarle
Me cansé de decirle
Que yo sin ella
De pena muEero
Ya no quiso escucharme
Si sus labios se abriE7eron
Fue pa' decirme
"ya no te qAuiero"
[Verse 2]
Yo sentí que mi Avida
Se perdía en un abismo
Profundo y nA7egro
Como mi sDuerte
Quise hallar el olvido
EAl estilo JalisAco
F#Pero aquellos mariBmachis
Y aquel teEquila
Me hicieron lloArar

Ella quiso quedarse

De pena muero

Ya no quiso escucharme

Se perdía en un abismo

Profundo y negro

Como mi suerte

Quise hallar el olvido
