[Verse 1]
When CI met you your words were new and so Fexciting.
You Csold me things, you gave me wings, you were Finviting.
Now you're Dmgone from my Glife, I'm aDmdrift on the Fsea.
[Chorus]
I'm just singing Foh-oh-oh-oh, Coh-oh, oh-oh Foh.
FOh-oh-oh-oh, Amoh-oh, oh-oh Foh.
DmOh oh-oh-Goh.
[Verse 2]
But Cnow it seems that life's a dream I’d rather Fwake from.
I Cstumble here to there, no truth that I Fcan take from.
‘Cause you're Dmgone from my Glife, I’m so Dmblind I can't Fsee.
[Chorus]
I'm just singing Foh-oh-oh-oh, Coh-oh, oh-oh Foh.
FOh-oh-oh-oh, Amoh-oh, oh-oh Foh.
