*CAPO 1st FRET*

(Original Key: G#)


Verse 1:

G                     F
 I don't blame you at all,
     C             G
'Cos you played it cool.
G                   F
 You don't owe me a thing,
     C            G
'Cos I played the fool.
No, no, no, no, no.

Chorus 1:

         G
I'm only payin' the price,
F      C
 For a trip I took,
   G
To paradise.
F       C
 'Cos I looked into,
  F
A pair of eyes.
           C
And what I thought,
Was the look of love,
(The look of love),
Adim
 (The look of love),
         G (n.C)
Was only hurt in disguise.

                 G
Too bad I didn't realize,
Oh but don't apologize, no.
'Cos...

Verse 2:

G                     F
 I don't blame you at all,
     C             G
'Cos you played it cool.
I should've did it myself.
G                   F
 You don't owe me a thing,
     C            G
'Cos I played the fool.
No, no, no, no, no.

Chorus 2:

             G
I think it's pretty plain:
F        C
 Holdin' you would,
       G
Take a ball and chain.
F      C
 Every bet I made,
    F
Was all in vain,
              C
'Cause what I thought,
Was an ocean of love,
(Ocean of love),
Adim
 (Ocean of love),
           G (n.C)
Was just a wee drop of rain.

Too bad that,
   G
It couldn't rain,
Oh but you don't,
Have to explain, no,
'Cos...

Verse 3:

(n.C)
 I don't blame you at all,
'Cos you played it cool.
I should've did it myself.
G                   F
 You don't owe me a thing,
     C            G
'Cos I played the fool.
No, no, no, no, no.

G                     F
 I don't blame you at all,
     C             G
'Cos you played it cool.
That's the thing to do.
G                   F
 You don't owe me a thing,
     C            G
'Cos I played the fool.
No, no, no, no, no.

Interlude:

G, F  C (x3), G  F

Chorus 3:

F
 I said;
               C
What I thought was,
Sure to last,
(Was sure to last),
Adim
 (Was sure to last),
           G (n.C)
Was just a minute instead.

               G
Too bad that I got misled,
But you don't have to,
Hang your head, no.
'Cos...

I should've did it myself.
