CEvery night it's the same
I feel your heart turn Fcold as rain
And know that you'll be Cgone again
GI hear the front door close
CYou say you got to go downtown
I guess there's someone Felse you've found
So why you're still Ccoming round
GHeaven only kCnows
FHeaven only knows just why loving you should Cmake me cry
FMake me feel like CI could die
GThat's the way it goes
FHeaven only ever sees 
How love's made a Cfool of me
FI guess that's how it's Cmeant to be but 
GHeaven only Cknows
CI've heard it said that talk is cheap
But still your words they Fcut so deep
Lay me crying Cin my sleep
GAnd the pain just grows
CI don't know who's right or wrong
But all we had is Fdead and gone
So why you keep me Changing on
GHeaven only Cknows
FHeaven only knows just why loving you should Cmake me cry
FMake me feel like CI could die
GThat's the way it goes
FHeaven only ever sees 
How love's made a Cfool of me
FI guess that's how it's Cmeant to be but 
GHeaven only Cknows
CI'm going to turn and walk away 
There's nothing left for Fme to say
It wouldn't change things Canyway
GThough, I suppose
CThe love I gave was always true
Well, I don't know what Felse to do
And how I'll ever get Cover you
GHeaven only Cknows
FHeaven only knows just why loving you should Cmake me cry
FMake me feel like CI could die
GThat's the way it goes
FHeaven only ever sees 
How love's made a Cfool of me
FI guess that's how it's Cmeant to be but 
GHeaven only Cknows

Every night it's the same

You say you got to go downtown

I guess there's someone else you've found

So why you're still coming round

Heaven only ever sees

How love's made a fool of me

G C

Heaven only knows

I've heard it said that talk is cheap

But still your words they cut so deep

But all we had is dead and gone

So why you keep me hanging on

Well, I don't know what else to do

And how I'll ever get over you
