And that was the day
that I promised

I'd never sing of love

Well maybe I know somewhere
F#m
deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other

ways to make it alone
E
Or keep a straight face
B
And I've always lived like
F#m

content with loneliness

Because none of it was
ever worth the
