Key:
C G We used to dance
Dm G Dm Like it was going out of style
G Dm When you loved me for a while
C Bb Am G F Em G And I remember every word you ever said, every kiss
C G We used to sing
Dm G Dm All the oldest songs we knew
G Dm But the words were never true
C Bb Am G F Em G For you, or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark? [Chorus]
C Am G All the sweetest things you said
Continues after the ad
C And I believed were summer lies
Am G Hanging in the willow trees
C Like the dead, were summer lies
Am G I'll never fall in love again [Verse 2]
C G I whispered, too
Dm G Dm But the things I said were true
G Dm And I gave up my whole world
C Bb Am G For you, I gave you all the best years of my life
F Em G And half the worst
C G And now you're gone
Dm G Dm I pine and wane, pale and wan
G Dm Never knowing when it's dawn
C Bb Am G F Em G Curtains drawn, hiding in my room wasting away, cutting myself [Chorus]
C Am G All the sweetest things you said
C And I believed were summer lies
Am G Hanging in the willow trees
C Like the dead, were summer lies
Am G I'll never fall in love again
