| (verse 2) |
| How could I have a love so fine and not know what it's worth |
| Maybe this empty heart he left behind is all that I deserve |
| What kind of fool finds a perfect jewel |
| and can't see how it shines 'til she's all alone and crying |
| (bridge) |
| Ab | |
| How I wish I could, |
| Fm | C | C-B-Bb-A | |
