C Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
When I opened your letter yesterday
C Dm7
I could not believe my eyes
(similar)
'Cos I've already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all,
F
it's gone
G
And I gave it all to you
Em
Now I'm living on borrowed time,
Am G F#m7-5
but it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
Fmaj7 Em7
I cannot believe it's true
Dm7 Fmaj7 Em7
Are you really doing the things you do
Dm7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Oh these people I'm talking to don't understand
They don't seem to realize
They're listening but they're not hearing me
They're being too cruel to be kind
Any kind of feeling that I had is gone
'Cos I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Bb C Dm
Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I hope I'm gonna make up
Over and over I know it's really happening
Bb C G
And there's nothing that I can say
Bb C
'Cos nothing can change
Dm
all the things that you've done to me
Bb C G
Nothing can make me stay
Oh, 'cos you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Eb F/Eb
I know it's a crying shame,
Ab Bb
it's all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out
but I cannot get through
C F
Never meant it to show
C F
It started happening, that's all you know
Oh, I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I Hope I'm gonna make up
But over and over I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay
'Cos you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
