standard tuning , no capo
tabbed by matt s

C
the congregation sang
F
we knelt and prayed
Dm
as we stood before god
F
on that beautiful day
C
the church bells rang
F
and the champagne flowed
Dm
as our friends gather round
F
for the wedding photo

Am F
but here we are barely five years on
Am F G
and our whole world’s falling apart

C
all the plans we had together
Em
up in smoke and gone for ever
Am
poisoned by the lawyer’s letter
F
it’s over
C
i don’t want our kids to suffer
Em
can we talk to one another
Am
you were once my light , my lover
F
it’s over

Dm Am
rumours and whispers tear me apart
F C G
but i know you’re better than that

C
inseparable were we
F
with a breeze in our sails
Dm
now i feel a chill wind
F
on the marriage that failed
C
and our friends are divided
F
they’ve taken their sides
Dm
now they’ll all sit back
F
and watch the circus arrive

Am F
i don’t stand here trying to focus the blame
Am F G
but i’m hurting deep down in inside

C
all the pain and all the grieving
Em
when did we stop believing
Am
too late now to stop the bleeding
F
it’s over
C
what’s the sense in pointing fingers
Em
who’s the saint and who’s the sinner
Am
they’re ain’t gonna be a winner
F
it’s over

Dm Am
oh , my dear , what happened to us?
F C G
tell me , where did it all go wrong?

Am , F , Am , F , Am , F , Am , F , G

D
what’s the use in keep on fighting?
F#m
all the tears , all the crying
Bm
why do we keep denying?
G
it’s over
D
in all the time i thought i knew you
F#m
don’t forget our children’s future
Bm
i would do whatever suits you
G D
oh ye – ah
D
it’s over
Bm

G
