Tip: Use barre chords for the Cm, Fm, and Bb to get the right tight, punchy sound. Mute between strums for that funk feel.
Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
Cm G
I was so high I did not recognize
Fm Ab Bb
The fire burning in her eyes, the chaos that controlled my mind
Cm G
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Fm Ab Bb
Never to return again, but always in my heart
Chorus
Cm G
This love has taken its toll on me
Fm Ab Bb
She said goodbye too many times before
Cm G
And her heart is breaking in front of me
Fm Ab Bb Cm
I have no choice ’cause I won’t say goodbye anymore
Verse 2
Cm G
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Fm Ab Bb
Keep her coming every night, so hard to keep her satisfied
Cm G
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Fm Ab Bb
Pretending to feel the same, then turn around and leave again
