    D
The more you criticize me
    G
the more I know I'm right
                      D
I just cant stop this need for you
   C       Cmaj7       A7
to help me through the night
    D
and though you treat me badly 
G
treat me like a slave
                    D
sure no one would believe it
    C       Cmaj7  A7
the way that you behave


    G
Sometimes I dare to wonder
          A
is there life after you
      G
could my heart stand the loneliness
      A
could my head see it through

and I say

I thought that we were perfect
the best there'd ever been
I would be your gypsy king
and you would be my queen
but real life just ain't like that
and so before to long
my sweet and happy melody
became a sadder song

And though the tune is different
that old familiar blues
there is nothing I would change in us
there is nothing I could lose
and I say 

oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo
