F
The more you criticize me
Bb
the more I know I'm right
Bb/F F
I just cant stop this need for you
Eb Bb/D C7
to help me through the night
F
and though you treat me badly
Bb
treat me like a slave
Bb/F F
sure no one would believe it
Eb Bb/D C7
the way that you behave
Bb
Sometimes I dare to wonder
C
is there life after you
Bb
could my heart stand the loneliness
C
could my head see it through
and I say
Bb/F
oo oo oo oo
F C
oo oo oo oo oo
Bb/F
oo oo oo oo
F C
oo oo oo oo oo
F
I thought that we were perfect
Bb/F
the best there's ever been
F
I would be your gypsy king
Eb Bb/D C7
and you would be my queen
F
but real life just ain't like that
Bb/F
and so before to long
F
my sweet and happy melody
Eb Bb/D C7
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
