and suffer thru~   all the fools' advice~~

            Am                Em7
It seems to me~   it's not so bad~      
   Am                               Em7
to try for the kind of love that we had~~
     D               F
Oh I need~    that romance~   
               C/G                      G
one that grows strong~ when it's got no chance~

        Am                                    Em7
there's pain in that but it's plain enough to see~ 
     D                   F
Oh I know~    I was satisfied~   
           C/G                    G
but nobody else~   came out on my side~~
