Tom : E
E C#m E C#m E
I am a full grown fool and I should have know better
A
But I tried and I tried and I could not forget her
E
I would go back to her time after time
A B7
Man I must have been out of mind
E
All of that crying for nothing
C#m
All of that trying for nothing
A
What has it ever got me
B7
What has it ever taught me
E
I've got to keep believing
C#m
In something baby
A
Instead of just trying for nothing
B7 E E C#m E C#m
Crying for nothing at all
We fought for love and we fought for trust
And the whole blessed time it was right there in front of us
But we could not reach it and I don't know why
And it took so long just to say goodbye
Chorus
Bridge:
F#m
Her friends all told me, and mine told me
E
But we would not listen, we could not see
F#m ,
Me and my pride, her and her dreams
B
We never ever stood a chance it seems
[Solo]
