When You Really Loved Someone
View chords used in this chart
Verse: G Bm C D
Soul searching
Heartbroken
Eyes open
Some say
You?re only crying in the dark
Life changes, rearranges
Time passes
Some say
Em
You?re only crying in the dark
Pre-Chorus
G D Em
He promised you his love would last forever
C
The day he said goodbye
All you wanted
D
Was to lay down and die
Chorus
C G D Em
When you loved someone
Really loved someone
And you lost that one
Well, then nothing really matters
No forgiveness, no politeness
No one else to take his place
C Em
No one, no one
D
Oh-ooh
