        Bsus4

The night I met you I said

     X

I'd never want to die

    G#sus4

If I had a boy like you

             F#sus4                                        Bsus4

'Cause how could death improve on that?

And I want it known.

X

Let the record show

              G#sus4

That for all my talk of love

             F#sus4 

I never once knew what it was 

            A

Until it left.

              E

Left me here...

      B7

So alive,

           G#sus4     F#sus4  A

But without you by my side.

                              E

And that's what I get

                   B7                                           A                 E       

I spent my love on something with an expiration date.

          Bsus4

From sea to sea I'm sailing.

        X

The memories are fading,

         G#sus4

But I always see your face

F#sus4                                     

Dancing in the waves.

        Bsus4

And now what's there to say? 

      X

So let the record play

                 G#sus4

Because all that comes to pass

        F#sus4                            A    

Has nothing on the past, it seems.

                    E                

Now in my dreams 

             B7

I'm the queen 

     G#sus4   F#sus4      A

Of every----thing I've lost,

                        E

But that's the cost 

                                         B7               

When you spend your love on something

              A                 E        B7 

With an expiration date.

Bsus4,  X, G#sus4, F#sus4

         "Whistling" 

        Bsus4

The night I met you I said

     X

I'd never want to die

     G#sus4

If I had a boy like you.

          F#sus4       

And I hadn't thought it through. 

        Bsus4

And now the season turned  

X

Still there's nothing learned

            G#sus4

Cause I've still got your letters

         F#sus4                                A

And, yes, I read them twice tonight.

        E    

I am here...

      B7

So alive...

       G#sus4         F#sus4  A

But without you by my side,

                              E

And that's what I get.

I spent my love on something with an expiration date.

                   B7                                           A                 E

I spent my love on something with an expiration date.

                       B7                                           A                 E

Spent all my love on something with an expiration date.
