              Dm                          C           G 
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart 
Dm                      C            G 
You can blame the unforgiven for my scars 
Dm                     C               G 
You might just be the best that I can find 
Bb              C                         Dm 
But I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried 
 
Bb                       C           Dm 
I don't know that I will ever trust again 
Bb                       C              Dm 
It's a price that I must pay for all my sins 
Bb                      C               Gm 
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt 
Bb                  C                 D 
And my heart may be lost, never to be found
 
 
Instrumental 
 
Once upon a time I did believe 
In my true love that swept me off my feet 
Then the windof change swept in the way 
And left me drowning in my pain
