[3/4 time] / I always play it with Capo 4
C G7
Oh foolish heart why won’t you believe
C
Your softness and stubbornness has caused me to grieve
F
Still pining for someone who can never come back
G7 C
I know that’s so but I can’t tell my heart that
G7
I can’t tell my heart that you are no good
C
I’d give this world if only I could
F
You cheated and lied then you left me flat
G7 C
Oh yes it’s true but I can’t tell my heart that
G7
My heart still cries out it wasn’t long ago
C
That we were together and you said you loved me so
F
Oh somewhere out there it don’t matter where at
G7 C
To you I’m forgotten but I can’t tell my heart that
G7
I can’t tell my heart that you are no good
C
I’d give this world if only I could
F
You cheated and lied then you left me flat
G7 C
Oh yes it’s true but I can’t tell my heart that
