GIt was fun while it lasted Cfun while it D7lasted
But Git just didn't Clast D7long Genough
I just read the saddest letter and Cbefore I cry I'd better
Let you Gknow I’ll never stand in your D7way
I'm your Gold love he's your new love 
But if Cyou're sure he's the true love
I'll Gbow out graceD7fully and simply Gsay
It was fun while it lasted Cfun while it D7lasted
GOurs was a Cspecial sort of Glove
It was fun while it lasted Cfun while it D7lasted
But Git just didn't Clast D7long Genough
I can't say goodbye with laughter but I'll Cpromise ever after
When GI think of you my lonely lips will D7smile
I'll be Gall alone tomorrow but Cthere'll be no pain or sorrow
Just a Ghappy thought you D7loved me for a Gwhile
It was fun while it lasted Cfun while it D7lasted
GOurs was a Cspecial sort of Glove
It was fun while it lasted Cfun while it D7lasted
But Git just didn't Clast D7long Genough
