Lyrics & chords · Original key

Chords in this song · guitar

I woke up today

With my head in daze

F C G

‘Cause my love had gone

With nothing to do

Just to dream about you

F C G

And how we went wrong

Em C

But oh, why did you go

Am D D

I loved you so, didn't you know

I walk into town

With my head hangin' down

F C G

Tryin' to hide my pain

The people I meet

As I float down the street

F C G

Tell me try again

When I remember how good it was

It makes me cry

'Cause my life's been

Turned upside down

All I want is someone

But how do you say

Please will you stay

...

I’ll settle down to a life

Of a clown to remain alive

I’ll work till I bleed

And if I can succeed

Maybe I'll survive
