[d] what's the use to deny we've been [g] living a [d] lie
That we should have admitted be[a]fore
We were [d] just victims of a [g] half-hearted [d] love
So why should we [a] try any[d]more

The vows that we make are [g] only to [d] break
We drift like a wave from the [a] shore
The [d] kisses we steal we [g] know are not [d] real
So why should we [a] try any[d]more

The dreams that we knew can [g] never come [d] true
They're gone to return no [a] more
[d] false love like ours [g] fades with the [d] flowers
So why should we [a] try any[d]more

Our story's so old a[g]gain has been [d] told
On the past let's close the [a] door
And [d] smile don't regret but [g] live and [d] forget
There's no use to [a] try any[d]more
