You need to Ctalk
And I'm so Amtired
It's just that CI
Can't bear to Amsee you cry again
I wish that Fyou were not forGgiving
I need to Csuffer for my Amcrimes
Time to FfaDm7ce this lie we're Gliving
It's 3a.Cm.
And I'm not Amsleeping
Still can't beClieve
That I could Amtreat you in this way
I count the Fyears as we grow Golder
We've been preCtending for so Amlong
Each passing FdaDm7y my love grows Gcolder F  G  
CYour Gheart is in a Fcold and Glonely Cplace
The Gwind and the Frain spit Gin your Cperfect Gface
when did we Ffall from Ggrace
My Flonesome Cdesert Grose
CNow I'm whistling down the aveAmnue
"It's only love" and I've got rain in my Cshoes
And these cigarettes don't Amhelp
My waitress says mister you've got to Flaugh to keep from Gcrying
You look like Chell, this one's on Amme
Then I Frealise I can Dm7smile occasionalGlyF  G

The Awind and the Grain spit Ain your Dperfect Aface

You need to talk

And I'm so tired

It's just that I

Can't bear to see you cry again

I wish that you were not forgiving

C Am

I need to suffer for my crimes

"It's only love" and I've got rain in my shoes

And these cigarettes don't help
