Did I dis ap point you,

And (A)love is blind, and that I knew when my heart was blind ed by you.
I’ve (E)kissed your lips and held your head, shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I (G#m)know you well, I know your smell, I’ve been ad dict ed to you.
Good bye, my lov er.
Good bye, my friend.
You have been the one,

I’ve (E)seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile, I’ve (C#m)watched you sleep ing for a while.
I’d (A)be the fath er of your child.
I’d spend a life time with you.
I (E)know your fears and you know mine; we’ve had our doubts, but now we’re fine, and (G#m)I love you, I swear that’s true.
I can not live (B)with out
Good bye, my lov er.

I’m so hol low, ba by, I’m so hol low.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so (E)hol (B)low.
