    F
The more you criticize me
    Bb
the more I know I'm right
  Bb/F                F
I just cant stop this need for you
   Eb       Bb/D       C7
to help me through the night
    F
and though you treat me badly 
Bb
treat me like a slave
     Bb/F           F
sure no one would believe it
    Eb       Bb/D  C7
the way that you behave



    Bb
Sometimes I dare to wonder
          C
is there life after you
      Bb
could my heart stand the loneliness
      C
could my head see it through

and I say 



Bb/F
oo oo oo oo
F           C
oo oo oo oo oo
Bb/F
oo oo oo oo
F           C
oo oo oo oo oo



F
I thought that we were perfect
    Bb/F    
the best there's ever been
                 F
I would be your gypsy king
     Eb      Bb/D    C7
and you would be my queen
     F
but real life just ain't like that
    Bb/F
and so before to long
                    F
my sweet and happy melody
  Eb      Bb/D   C7
became a sadder song



And though the tune is different
that old familiar blues
there is nothing I would change in us
there is nothing I could lose
and I say 



oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
