[Chorus]
(Was it Db6/9ever really love?) Was it lAbmaj9ove?
(Was it Db6/9ever really love?) It was never really love, bAbmaj9aby
Felt so much like... (Was it Db6/9ever really love?)
Love in the begAbmaj9inning, when we were spinning
(Was it Db6/9ever really love?) Light as a fAbmaj9eather
Thought our love was forever... (Was it Db6/9ever really love?)
Oh, and I want some Abmaj9real love, I never
(Was it Db6/9ever really love?) Never gonna lie again
    Abmaj9Never wanna cry again, the Db6/9way I'm cryin' now (Was it ever really love?)
Such a Abmaj9sad thing, not a bad thing
(Was it Db6/9ever really love?) To leave some room for love to Abmaj9come in...
