[Intro: ]G-D
(Chorus)
G D
Shame on me, for hurting you
G
What can I say? what can I do
D
Last night I was blind but to-day I see
G
I did you wrong, Shame on me
Spoken (Same Chords As Above)
You say you won't be seeing me again, you say we're through
I don't want to see the sunrise to-morrow If I knew that to be true
I know that just saying I'm sorry doesn't sound a lot
But the girl you saw me with last night means no more to me
Than a thousand stars to the great clouds that cover the night
The more I look at her the more I realise how much I love you.
(Repeat Chorus)
Spoken
I'll admit I shouldn't have given in to love's wild temptation
For someone I cared nothing for; I was blind and I hurt you
Can you ever forgive a fool a fool who really loves you
G D
Last night I was blind but to-day I see
G
I did you wrong, Shame on me
