(Barry Tashian)
Intro: C7#9 F Gm F [3X]
Verse 1:
C7#9 F Gm F
I would lose all my blues if you promise that your love was
C7#9 F Gm F
true now
C7#9 F Gm F C7#9 F Gm F
And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do now
Dm Am
'Cause you leave me alone
Dm Am
To cry on my own
Dm Am F G
I swear you got a heart that's made of stone
F G
Made of stone
Verse 2:
And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do
But I do now
I cry, you know why, I would die if you left me again
The tears and the years would have all surely been in vain, now
But you keep on leavin' me alone
To cry on my own
I swear you got a heart that's made of stone
Made of stone
