[Gm]
[D] [E] [A] [Dm]
You [Gm] told me that I [Dm] was like an [E] angel,
[Dm] told [Gm] me I was fit [Dm] to wear a crown, so that you
could [F] get a thrill.
You [B] put me on a [Bb] pedestal and [G] then you let me down, [A] let me down.
[Dm] You [Gm] told me that I'd [Dm] be wearing diamonds, [E]
[Dm] I would [Gm] have the smartest [Dm] car in town, made
me think that I'm the top and then you let the ladder drop, you know you let me down,
[F] let me down.
I walked [A] upon a rainbow,
[F] I clung on [Ab] to a star, [Gm] what had me [Dm] up in heaven, [D] that's why I [E] had
to fall [A] so far.
[E]
[Dm] I [Gm] was even looking [Dm] for cottage, [E]
[Dm] I [Gm] was measured for [Dm] a wedding gown, that's how I got [C] cynical,
you [A] put me on [E] a cynical [Dm] and then you let me down, [A] let me down.
[Dm] How [Gm] you [Dm] let me down.
