[This section almost spoken, making the timing a touch tricky]

C F G F G Am

I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real

G F G

And she even spoke to me and said

C Am F G

"If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?"

Am F G

kind - over and over....

C F G Em F G

C F G F G Am F G

Love is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my love

C F G Em F G....

Oh mother... etc.

C F G Am G F G etc.

If you want to play this in the key of G, as did Jeff, my rough and ready seat of the pants re-labelling goes something like this:

For C major, play G major;

For A minor, play E minor;

For F major, play C major;

For G major, play D major;

For E minor, play B minor;

(I think that should be accurate. Please let me know if you think otherwise.)
