Fdim Em C7 B7 Bb7 They say into your early
A7 D life romance came
A7 D7 C#7 C7 B7 And in this heart of yours burned a
E7 flame

Cdim A7 and died away
Em C7 B7 Bb7 A7 Then, with disillusion deep
D in your eyes
A7 D7 C#7 C7 B7 You learned that fools in love
E7 soon grow wise
A6 A A6 A A7 D The years have changed you somehow
