         F                               Bb
 Oh the love you promised would be mine forever
    F                              C
 I would have bet my bottom dollar on
          F                             Bb
 Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
       F                C                 F
 Just once I turned my back and you were gone
 
 
          F                               Bb
 From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
          F                      C
 I'm all through ever trusting anyone
           F                              Bb
 The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
          F                 C                   F
 I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
 
 
     F                         Bb
 It amazes me not knowing any better
          F                                C
 Than to think I had a love that would be true
        F                              Bb
 Why I should be taken out tarred and feathered
          F             C           F
 To have let myself be taken in by you
 
 
          F                               Bb
 From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
          F                      C
 I'm all through ever trusting anyone
           F                              Bb
 The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
          F                 C                   F
 I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
