Verse 2 ... same chord structure as verse 1
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.


Chorus

make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
tell me all my love's in vain.
