1. 
      C            Am 
Your love made a slave of me 
         Em                      Am 
but the love you gave, you took away from me. 
  C             Am 
Foolishly, I believed in you. 
        Em                   Am 
What a fool I was, thinking love was true. 

 F                      Am 
Selfishly you broke my heart. 
     G                     Am 
You really had me fooling from the start. 
  F                      Am 
Still I have just one regret : 
    G                    Am 
although you're gone, I can't forget. 

 C                    Em 
Why when the love is gone, 
 Am                     F 
why does my heart keep holding on ? 
    C                    Em 
Oh why when the love is gone, 
         Am                     F 
Tell me why does my heart keep holding on ? 


2. 
      C                      Am 
Your love was sweet when it started 
           Em                       Am 
but now I find it leaves me broken hearted. 
 C                          Am 
Why do you swear to always care 
     Em                     Am 
then walk away and leave me in despair ? 

 F 
Selfishly ...
