 If you, if you could return

 don't let it burn
 A6/A
 don't let it fade
 C/C~
 I'm sure I'm happier
 C/C~
 but it's just your attitude
 G
 it's tearing me apart
 G
 it's ruining everyday
 D A6/A
 I swore, I swore I would be true
 A6/A
 but honey so did you

 so why were you holding her hand
 C/C~
 is that the way we stand

 were you lying all the time

 was it just a game to you

 you got me wrapped around your finger

 do you have to let it linger
 
 Verse
 -----
 Guitar I - single chord strums with tremelo/echo effect
 Guitar II - strumming
 
 Oh, I thought I loved you
 I thought that nothing could go wrong
 but I was wrong
 I was wrong
 
 If you, if you could get by
 trying not to lie
 things wouldn't be so confused
 and I wouldn't feel so used
 but you always ruin you
 I just wanna be with you
 
 Chorus
 ------
 and I miss you
 you know I'm such a fool for you
 you got me wrapped around your finger
 do you have to let it linger
 do you have to
 do you have to
 do you have to let it linger
 
 [Slide guitar]
 
 and I miss you
 you know I'm such a fool for you
 you got me wrapped around your finger
 do you have to let it linger
 do you have to
 do you have to
 do you have to let it linger
 
 you know I'm such a fool for you
 you got me wrapped around your finger
 do you have to let it linger
 do you have to
 do you have to
 do you have to let it linger
