    You belong to some other guy

    Hope I never have to testify 
  F                     G

    I'd be unable to lie, girl 
  F                          G 
    I got a love that won't die, girl 


  F                     G 
    Tell the world that I was guilty 
    F                    C 
    I wouldn't stand a chance 
   F                    G 
    Tell the world that I was a victim 
       F                G7 
    A victim of circumstance 

      C                   F       G           F   G  F G 
    They might show some mercy if I could explain 
     C                   F          G          F    G F G 
    Girl, I love you so much that I'm almost insane 
 Am 
    You disturbed my balance of mind
