It’s over (video)

C - F + C - F - Dm - G

C F

1. The congregation sang, we knelt and prayed,

Dm F G

as we stood before God on that beautiful day.

C F

The church bells rang, and the champagne flowed,

Dm F G

as our friends gather round for the wedding photo.

Am F

But here we are barely five years on,

Am F - G

and our whole world’s fallin' apart.

C Em

All the plans we had together, up in smoke and gone for ever,

Am F

poisoned by the lawyer's letter, it's over.

C Em

I don't want our kids to suffer, can we talk to one another ?

Am F

You were once my light, my lover, it’s over.

Dm Am

Rumours and whispers tear me apart,

F C - G

but I know you better than that.

+ C - F - Dm - G

C F

2. Inseparable were we, with a breeze in our sails,

Dm F G

now I feel a chill wind on the marriage that failed.

C F

And our friends are divided, they've taken their sides,

Dm F G

now they'll all sit back and watch the circus arrive.

Am F

I don't stand here tryin' to focus the blame,

Am F - G

but I'm hurtin' deep down inside.

C Em

All the pain and all the grievin' when did we stop believin',

Am F

too late now to stop the bleedin', it's over.

C

What's the sense in pointin' fingers,

Em

who’s the saint and who’s the sinner,

Am F

there ain't gonna be a winner, it's over.

Dm Am

Oh, my dear, what happened to us ?

F C - G

Tell me, where did it all go wrong ?

+ Am - F - Am - F - G (2x)

(orig. moves up a full note to capo 2nd here)

C Em

What's the use in keep on fightin' ? All the tears, all the cryin'.

Am F

Why do we keep denyin' it's over ?

C Em

In all the time I thought I knew you, don't forget our children's future,

Am F C

I would do whatever suits you, oh, yeah !

Em Am F

It's over, it's over, it’s over ! + C - F - Dm - G (2x) + C
