Verse 1:
G F C G
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool.
G F C G
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Chorus 1:
G F C G
I'm only payin' the price, for a trip I took to paradise.
F C F
'Cos I looked into a pair of eyes,
C
And what I thought was the look of love,
Adim
(The look of love), (the look of love),
G (n.C)
Was only hurt in disguise.
G
Too bad I didn't realise, oh, but don't apologise, no, 'cos...
Verse 2:
G F C G
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;
I should've did it myself.
G F C G
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Chorus 2:
G F C G
I think it's pretty plain; holdin' you would take a ball and chain.
F C F
Every bet I made was all in vain,
C Adim
'Cos what I thought was an ocean of love, (ocean of love), (ocean of love),
G (n.C) G
Was just a wee drop of rain... too bad that it couldn't rain,
Oh, but you don't have to explain, no, 'cos...
Verse 3:
(n.C)
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;
I should've did it myself.
G F C G
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

Chorus 3:
F C
I said... what I thought was sure to last,
Adim
(Was sure to last), (was sure to last),
G (n.C) G
Was just a minute instead... too bad that I got misled,
But you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cos...
Coda:
G F C G
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;
I should've did it myself.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
G F C G
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.
