*****************************************************
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.

Chorus:
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
Well I should be taken out and tarred and feathered,
        F             C           F
To have let myself be taken in by you.

Sing Chorus
        F                 C                   F
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone.
