Vers 1:

C#                        G#
What'll you do when you get lonely 
C#      C      D       E
And nobody's waiting by your side? 
F#m                B    E               A
You've been running and hiding much too long. 
F#m         B               E       A
You know it's just your foolish pride. 

Omkvæd:

Vers 2:

I tried to give you consolation 
When your old man had let you down. 
Like a fool, I fell in love with you, 
Turned my whole world upside down. 

Omkvæd 

Vers 3:

Let's make the best of the situation 
Before I finally go insane. 
Please don't say we'll never find a way 
And tell me all my love's in vain. 

Omkvæd
