 (G major) Made those blue eyes cry  (D minor)

I've  (C major) played it wise too long,
E 
to say  (E major) that I was wrong

to the sun- kissed valley,
G 
 (G major) I've broken every vow
C 
I  (C major) never used three words where

C 
 (G major) And I can't start  (C major) now

And every new day dawn

to  (F sharp major) open up my  (B minor) heart  (G major)

 (A major) And I can't stop now
