    I don't know why I said the things I said.

    Love's like a knife it can cut deep inside 

        D                     G                     C               D

    words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

2.     My world was shattered, I was torn apart, 

 D                                     G                          C                D

    like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart.

 D                                G                       C            D

    You walk out that door, I swore that I didn't care, 

              D              G                    C            D

    but I lost everything, darling, then and there


 C - Em - D                                                C Em   - D

                   Too strong to tell you I was sorry 

                                                   C

    too proud to tell you I was wrong,

                                                 - D

    and I know that I was blind,         and darling ....
