[Verse]
[G] I thought love was [D] only true in [G] fairy tales
Meant [G] for someone [D] else but not for me [G]
[C] Love was out to [G] get me (hammer on G from 333333 to simulate vocals below)
[C] That's the way it seemed [G]
[C] Disappointment [G] haunted all my [D7] dreams
[Chorus - OPEN CHORDS]

[G] liever!.... [C] ...... [G] ... [C] Not a
[G] trace.. [C] ... [G] .. Of [C] doubt in my
[G] mind... [C] ... [G] .. [C] I'm in

[C] (aah) I'm a

[G] I thought love was [D] more or less a [G] givin' thing
[G] Seems the more I gave, [D] the less I got [G]
[C] What's the use in [G] tryin'?
[C] All you get is pain. [G]
[C] When I needed [G] sunshine, I got [D7] rain.
