[Verse]
G                                      C
One thing I've never learned is how to give up
Am                              C
So it's my destiny to bear this fate
Em                                            C
They say that I'm still young, but I'd better hurry up
                          Am
And they're talking 'bout change
D                     G     C  D
And it's a little too late

[Verse]
G                                 C
I'm really not just jumping to conclusions
Am                                   C
It's all a matter of fact clear of illusions
Em                             C
You'll never love me the way I love you
                  Am
So I'm paying the price
D      G
All my life

[Verse]
C                     Bm
Just when I think I'm moving along
F                       Em
You come back singing a different song
C                        Bm
A song of love a song of sweet regret
G       B7  Em   G         C
Full of promises which are never met
                   Am
And I'm paying the price
D      G     C  D    G  C  D
All my life

[Verse]
G                                      C
I know I'll love you still when I have grown old
Am                                      C
Though you'll have taken all of my good years
Em                                  C
And you'll have taken every chance away from me
              Am
My master for life
D      G
All my life

[Verse]
C                        Bm
Just when I think you'll let me be
F                              Em
I'll awake knowing you've been haunting me
C                                  Bm
All day long I'll hear you singing in my head
G   B7      Em  G    C
The voice I love the voice I dread
                   Am
And I'm paying the price
D      G
All my life

[Verse]
C                     Bm
Just when I think I'm finally free
F                     Em
I hear a voice gently calling me
C                        Bm
Saying I'm just a little melody
G          B7     Em  G   C
What could be the harm in writing me
                   Am
And I'm paying the price
D      G
All my life
                   Am
And I'm paying the price
D      G
All my life
           Am
Paying the price
D      G
All my life
           Am     D
Paying the price
