[Verse 1]
                E7           A
Oh, why did you give me your love, dear?
        D             G
When it only lasted a day
C           E           A
Why did you teach me to love you?
D                G
Only to turn me away

[Verse 2]
    C             E            A
You promised that you would be true
     D7                 G
Your promise was all in vain
    C              E           A
But my heart keeps calling for you, dear
         D       G            C
Like the flowers call for the rain

[Verse 3]
                      F
You may be sorry some day, dear
D7                      G      G7
That you have broken my heart
C                      G
That you have cast me away, dear
D/A        D           G      G7
And fooled me from the start

[Verse 4]
    C                 F
Now this is my last appeal, dear
     D7             G    G7
I've only a word to say
C           E            A
Why did you give me your love, dear?
        D7     G      C
When it lasted only a day

[Outro]
               G7     C
When it lasted only a day
