I took off down the road
When I got there,
she was laying on the cooling board

[Verse 3]
G#               G#
  It looked like ten thousand people standing around the
burying ground
I didn't know I loved her,

'til they began to let her down
C#                                                B

  You know,
     G#
it's so hard to love someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction,
                      B
don't care what you do
C#                                  B        G#
  So hard to love someone that don't love you
D#                            C#
  Don't look like satisfaction  and I don't care what you
  G#
do
D#
  Hey..

            G#
Well, I got up this morning,
the break of day
                                              B
Just hugging the pillows where she used to lay
C#
  Got up this morning,
                            B
would you believe? The break
      G#
of day
D#                        C#
  Just hugging the pillows  where my baby used to lay
