[Verse]
             
I thought love

            
 was only true

    
 in fairy tale

And (Meant) fo

              
r someone else

            
 but not for m

   
e
             
Love was out t

  
o get me
             
     That's th

              
e way it seeme

    
d
             
     Disappoin

             
tment haunted

[Chorus]
(     
Then I saw her

            
 face
            
Now I'm a beli

Not a trace

    
             
Of doubt in my

I'm in love

[Verse]
             
I thought love

            
 was more or l

      
ess a given (g

ivin' ?) thing
              
Seems the more

            
 I gave, the l

           
ess I got
             
What's the use

    
 in tryin'?
             
     All you g

              
et is pain.
             
     When I ne

             
eded sunshine,

       
 I got rain.


[Chorus]
