Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Thought I was in love, heart full of hope
But now I see, I'm on a slippery slope
Euphoria fades, reality remains
Love turns to pain, in these tangled chains
I thought I was in love, but I'm in pain
The sunshine turned to endless rain
Caught in a web, I can't escape
Thought I was in love, but now it's too late
Expectations clash with reality
Moments of joy, now just a memory
The flower blooms, then starts to wilt
Love once so sweet, now laden with guilt
Chorus TwoSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
I thought I was in love, but I'm in pain
The sunshine turned to endless rain
Caught in a web, I can't escape
Thought I was in love, but now it's too late
Letting go is never easy
But holding on is killing me
Finding strength in self-love
It's time to rise above
OutroSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
I thought I was in love, but I'm in pain
The sunshine turned to endless rain
Caught in a web, I can't escape
Thought I was in love, but now it's too late
