| Am | G |
| Let me go I’m | only letting you down |
| C | F |
| I ’ve got nothing to | say to you now |
| Am | G |
| I lose the feelings that are | weighing me down |
| C | F | |
| When I’m | safe |
| Am | G |
| It’s turning morning all the | birds sing |
| C | F |
| I’m not complicating | anything |
| Am | G |
| I’ll have another then I’ll | go to bed |
| C | F | |
| But I’ll | dre - eam | of you |
| Am | |
| Cause it’s | almost over |
| G | |
| And it’s | almost gone |
| C | F | |
| And I can feel the | sweet | illusion, coming |
| Am | G |
| Sweet | confusion, honey |
| C | F | G |
| Sweet | illusion coming | down |
| G | Dm |
| And I ain’t got nothing but love for you | now |
| (Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am F C G : Intro part) |
| Am | G |
| You and I used to | shine like a jewel |
| C | F |
| But times been nothing to | us but cruel |
| Am | G |
| So play it out and never | play the fool |
| C | F | |
| Cause you | looo - | oose every time |
| Am | G |
| We were nothing, we were | only the past |
| C | F |
| Hard times like | that don’t last |
| Am | G |
| I’ve been forgiven, I’ve | been surpassed |
| C | F | |
| By my | hea - | eart Have you? |
| Am | |
| Cause it’s | almost over |
| G | |
| And it’s | almost gone |
| C | F | |
| And I can feel the | sweet | illusion, coming |
| Am | G |
| Sweet | confusion, honey |
| C | F | Am |
| Sweet | illusion coming | down |
| G |
| And I ain’t got nothing but love for you |
| Dm | F | C | G |
| Love for | you I can’t | use |
| Dm | F | G | |
| And | lonely nights | multiplied by the | blues |
| G | |
| That I | can’t resolve |
| Am | G |
| You never knew me but I | did my best |
| C | F |
| I’m just lonely | inside I guess |
| Am | G |
| You gave me everything you | really tried |
| C |
| Thanks.... |
| Am | G |
| If we were nothing and we’re | only the past |
| C | F |
| Then I’m just living in a | dream I guess |
| Am | G | C |
| A long black dream | that takes me down the | river to you |
| (repeat chorus) |
