C G
We used to dance
Dm G Dm
Like it was going out of style
G Dm
When you loved me for a while
C Bb Am G F Em G
And I remember every word you ever said, every kiss
C G
We used to sing
Dm G Dm
All the oldest songs we knew
G Dm
But the words were never true
C Bb Am G F Em G
For you, or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark?
[Chorus]
C Am G
All the sweetest things you said
C
And I believed were summer lies
Am G
Hanging in the willow trees
C
Like the dead, were summer lies
Am G
I'll never fall in love again
[Verse 2]
C G
I whispered, too
Dm G Dm
But the things I said were true
G Dm
And I gave up my whole world
C Bb Am G
For you, I gave you all the best years of my life
F Em G
And half the worst
C G
And now you're gone
Dm G Dm
I pine and wane, pale and wan
G Dm
Never knowing when it's dawn
C Bb Am G F Em G
Curtains drawn, hiding in my room wasting away, cutting myself
[Chorus]
C Am G
All the sweetest things you said
C
And I believed were summer lies
Am G
Hanging in the willow trees
C
Like the dead, were summer lies
Am G
I'll never fall in love again
