Capo 2                                                                           G7 = 200033
Strung along out on Ga desperate wind, taking friends advice tAmo settle in 
But wheres a lover go when aDll has gone, darling no one is that sGtrong D7  
Robbing many men of wiGnter coats, i tell them i am just a liAmttle cold 
They offer but they never gDet me home, darling no one is that stGrong 
GYour eyes they fill my Ammind, and i leave my heart beDhind while i try to find a GsubsG7titute for Emyou
These soAmuls behind these faces nevDer do
You wanna see how saGd I've been, or do you want me just to gAmive you in
And will or are you giving Dme into, this thing is just so harGd to do 
GYour eyes they fill my Ammind, and i leave my heart beDhind while i try to find a GsubsG7titute for Emyou
These soAmuls behind these faces nevDer do
Can i be selfish for a liCttle while, and just pretend that we will Emgo these miles
I'm sorry if i pain when yoAmu move on, bDut darling no one is thGat strong
And wheGres a lover go when aAmll has gone, Ddarling no one is thGat strong
