Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
FGC
And as I climb into an empty bed
Am
Oh well, enough said
FGFG
I know it's over still I cling
FGFGF
I don't know where else I can go, mother
CAm
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
FGC
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Am
Do you think you can help me?
FGC
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Am
Handsome groom, give her room
FGC
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Am
Although she needs you more than she loves you
FGFG
And I know it's over still I cling
FG
I don't know where else I can go
FGF
It's over, it's over, it's over
C
I know it's over
F
And it never really began
GFGAm
But in my heart it was so real
FGFG
And you even spoke to me and said
CAmFG
"If you're so funny then why are you on your own tonight?
CAmFG
And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
CAmFG
If you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
CAm
If you're so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight?
FGC
I know cause tonight is just like any other night
AmFG
That's why you're on your own tonight
C
With your triumphs and your charms
Am
While they are in each other's arms
FGF
It's so easy to laugh
G
It's so easy to hate
FG
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
FG
It's over, over, over
FGF
It's so easy to laugh
G
It's so easy to hate
FG
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
FG
It's over, over, over
