    D 
The more you criticize me 
    G 
the more I know I'm right 
                      D 
I just cant stop this need for you 
   C       Cmaj7       A7 
to help me through the night 
    D 
and though you treat me badly  
G 
treat me like a slave 
                    D 
sure no one would believe it 
    C       Cmaj7  A7 
the way that you behave 


    G 
Sometimes I dare to wonder 
          A 
is there life after you 
      G 
could my heart stand the loneliness 
      A 
could my head see it through 

and I say  

G 
oo oo oo oo 
D           A 
oo oo oo oo oo 
G 
oo oo oo oo 
D           A 
oo oo oo oo oo 

I thought that we were perfect 
the best there'd ever been 
I would be your gypsy king 
and you would be my queen 
but real life just ain't like that 
and so before to long 
my sweet and happy melody 
became a sadder song 

And though the tune is different 
that old familiar blues 

there is nothing I would change in us 
there is nothing I could lose 
and I say  

oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo oo

    G 
And though the tune is different 
     D 
that old familiar blues 
         G 
there is nothing I would change in us 
         A 
there is nothing I could lose 

and I say  

oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo 
oo oo oo oo oo
