INTRO: Hierboven


VERSE 1:

 Dm                            Am
What will you do when you get lonely
                 Dm          Db      D#      F
With nobody waiting by your side
                 Gm          C           F               Bb
You've been running and hiding much too long,
                 Gm            C                 F
You know it's just your foolish pride.

                 Dm                   Am
Tried to give you consolation,
                 Dm       Db        D#      F
Your old man won't let you down
                 Gm     C        F                Bb
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
                 Gm         C                  F
Turned the whole world upside down




CHORUS



                 Dm                         Am
Let's make the best of the situation
                 Dm       Db      D#    F
Before I fin'lly go insane.
                 Gm           C         F            Bb
Please don't say we'll never find a way

And tell me all my loves in vain
