Am               G
Let me go I'm only letting you down
C               F
I 've got nothing to say to you now
Am                    G
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
       C          F
When I'm safe
Am                    G      
It's turning morning all the birds sing
C               F
I'm not complicating anything
Am                     G
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
        C         F
But I'll dream of you

Am
Cause it's almost over
G
And it's almost gone

                C                F
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Am        G
Sweet confusion, honey
C     F          G
Sweet illusion coming down
G                             Dm
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

(Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am F C G : Intro part)

Am              G
You and I used to shine like a jewel
C                   F
But times been nothing to us but cruel
Am                  G
So play it out and never played the fool
C                F
Cause you'll lose every time

Am                   G
We were nothing, we were only the past
C            F
Hard times like that don't last
Am                  G
I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed
C
By my heart
F
Have you?

Am
Cause it's almost over
G
And it's almost gone

                C                F
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Am        G
Sweet confusion, honey
C     F          Am
Sweet illusion coming down
G                            
And I ain't got nothing but love for you…


Dm       F           C           G
Love for you I can't use
     Dm              F                G     
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
           G
That I can't resolve
Am                 G
You never knew me but I did my best
C             F
I'm just lonely inside I guess
Am                    G
You gave me everything you really tried
C
Thanks....

Am                    G
If we were nothing and we're only the past
C                   F
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess
Am                  G                    C
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you

(repeat chorus)
