I would have given you all of my heart 
            C             F           G   F 
but there's someone who's torn it a - part 
          C            G             F   G 
and she's taken almost all that I've have 
                      C               F    G 
but if you want, I'll try to love a - gain 
          C               F          G     F

when it comes to lovin' me she's worst

        C               F               G     F 
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
