CComplicFate things wAmhen you're Gyoung
CThe man around the Fcorner likes to Amroll his dice
GJust for fun he says:
CTake it eaFsy babe, Amhe's not the Gonly one
And Call the light starts to Emyellow and fade
FSee you in the middle and Fmall the love we made 
CI'm your girl and Emyou're my man
FIt's just an illusion, Fmthis I know
Solo
CBeen around the Fblock Amonce, twice, Gmaybe more
CNever met a Fhungry fool AmI couldn't learn to Gadore
CHopeless Fsmiles Amand crooked Geyes 
Trade it in for Ca heart full of lFies
AmI won't toGnight
And Call the light starts to yEmellow and fade
FSee you in the middle and Fmall the love we made 
CI'm your girl and Emyou're my man
FIt's just an illusion, Fmthis I know
AmBeen around eG#asy street
GCarry a nightmare so you Dcan take the heat
AmSome are lonely G#to fight wars
GYou never asked for much but you Dalways want more
AmSearching for your love, G#needing your love
GI want relief, Dnot defeat
CSome people say I've got a Emlot to learn
FAnd nothing comes easy, Fmnothing comes in between
CI'm your girl and Emyou're my man
FI can see the whole world Fmat your feet
DPeople come together F#to build their whole lives
GNothing from nothing Gmwill give you something
DSometimes, F#sometimes, Gthis illusion is Gmall I know
