Intro: G A Bm F#m (2x) 
 
D 
I don't know 
   Bm 
If you can call this romance 
              D 
You see we've changed since the start 
D 
Even together 
      Bm 
We're distant lonely and apart 
       D 
But we both look the other way 
   G 
Pretend we still believe it 
A 
When they say 
 
G     A                   Bm 
I guess that's why they call this love 
F#m             G 
Sadly unpredictable 
         A                    Bm 
And I guess that's why they call this love 
F#m 
Fate and fatal 
 
D 
My heart doesn't beat 
   Bm 
As fast as it once did 
        D 
I would sever these ties 
               Bm 
But you're the perfect tourniquet 
D 
Tell me darling 
                         G 
Should we look the other way 
          A 
When they say 
 
G     A                   Bm 
I guess that's why they call this love 
F#m             G 
Sadly unpredictable 
         A                    Bm 
And I guess that's why they call this love 
F#m             Em 
Fate and fatal 
 
    D 
Its getting hard to stay 
                C#m        Em 
But even harder to let go 
    D 
And tell me now darling 
                       C#m                Em 
Is this how we thought love was meant to go 
 
  D               C#m 
Viva, viva communique 
  Em   D      A 
Donde, donde, donde estas? Donde se fue? 
 
Intro riff again: G A Bm F#m (x2) 
 
G     A                   Bm 
I guess that's why they call this love 
F#m             G 
Sadly unpredictable 
         A                    Bm 
And I guess that's why they call this love 
F#m 
Fate and fatal
