[Verso 1]

Gb               B    Db     Gb 
Some people sing love songs 
Gb   B          Db      Gb 
Everybody's got one 
Gb            B       Db 
This isn't my love song 
Ebm               B         Db    Gb 
It's more like my love-gone-wrong song 



[Verso 2]
 
Gb            B    Db    Gb 
She came to breakfast 
Gb  B        Db         Gb 
And stayed a week 
Gb            B  Db     Ebm 
But the lie detectors 
Ebm             B        Db            Ebm 
Broke down each time she tried to speak 
Ebm            B           Db 
Broke down when she said

[Ponte]
 
D 
       I remember, I remember, I remember 
    A 
The promise in your eyes 
   D                                      A          D 
As black as the night I drove you to the airport 
D 
And I remember, I remember, I remember 
         Gb                           Db 
The wide Brazilian sky that swallowed you 



[Verso 3]
 
Gb                   B   Db 
          Then I hit thirty 
Gb               B         Db 
         Guess I can't complain 
Gb                          B   Db 
       But I must have been lonely 
Ebm              B        Db      Gb 
     The night I bumped into Lorraine 



[Verso 4]
 
    B        Db Gb 
She came for coffee 
    B           Db 
And stayed all night 
Gb                 B  Db 
     But the lie detectors 
Ebm                  B      Db            Ebm 
    Broke down every time I tried to smile 
                    B     Db    Ebm 
Broke down like the story of my life 
         B       Db        Ebm 
And each dream I missed by half a mile 
      B 
Broke down when I told her

Close but no cigar
