(Intro)  D  G  A  D

    D                  G             D
The mansion I own has captured your heart
                 A                               D
You said it was love dear but you lied from the start
              G             A         D
I wanted true love but you wanted my gold
                  A             G              D
Someday you'll be sorry for the lies that you told


(Chorus)

                 D                        G
You've stolen my heart and you cheated on me
               D                          A
But someday my darling I know that you'll see
 -              G                    D
A house without love can make you so cold
                A             G            D       (2: D  G  D)
And you will be lonely in the mansion you stole



(Instr)  D    G    D

 D               A                               D
You said it was love dear but you lied from the start

(Instr)  D   G   A   D

 D                 A             G              D
Someday you'll be sorry for the lies that you told



(Repeat Chorus)
