[Am] [F]
[C] [D] [Em] [G] I saw the stars in [Em] your eyes and I knew [F] it was puppy school [C] love.
[G] You saw the twinkle [Em] in mine and we both knew it [F] was time to hold our [C] breath.
[G] We got lost in [Em] a sea of love and lust with [F] a galaxy of [C] trust.

[G] Thought my baby loved me but I've been misled.
[F] My, my, [C] she sucked me dry.

[G] Believe, I [Em] believe it's better to [F] trust even when I'm [C] wrong.
[G] And to let [Em] my fear drive me from [F] the home where I [C] belong.
She [Bm] was [C] my queen on reserve to [G] protect and serve.
[F] [Bm] Then [C] she threw me a curve, [D] scam, scam, and gold dig and kicked me to the curb.
[F] Bang, bang, [C] shoot me [F#] dead.

[Dm] [F]
[C] [G] don't know what [Em] to say on the street.

And everybody [G] knows that she's my [Em] light and my love and my hope [F] and my only desire.
[C] Your [Bm] anger can't control it.
