MIDDLE 8
(add9)
6/8 time
| Am7add9 | % | E7sus4 | % |
| Am7add9 | % | E7sus4 | % |
| Cadd9 | % | Fmaj7/6| % |
| Bdim(?) | % | E7/5+ |
Love is a catastrophe
Look what it's done to me
Brought me down here so low
Bdim(?) E7/5+ (Am7add9)
Stranded, nowhere to go
No concentration
Just rerunning conversation
Trying to understand
Bdim(?) E7/5+ (Am7add9)
How I fell into this quicksand
What happens next?
With life I'm unimpressed
Pain like a cutter's knife
Bdim(?) E7/5+ (Am7add9)
Never been lonelier in my life
| Am7add9 | % | E7sus4 | % |
| Am7add9 | % | E7sus4 | % |
| Cadd9 | % | Fmaj7/6| % |
| Bdim(?) | % | E7/5+ |
Who issued the instruction
For this mad act of destruction?
An end to equilibrium
Bdim(?) E7/5+ (Am7add9)
Fate laughs: Look what we've done to him
High wind through the trees
Falling November leaves
A weak sun hanging low
Bdim(?) E7/5+ (Am7add9)
Summer seems so long ago
| Am7add9 | % | E7sus4 | % |
(#11) (add9)
All my former dreams
(#11) (add9)
Tender romantic schemes
(#11) (add9)
Revealed as so naive
(#11) (add9)
To think I could believe
In love as the kindest law
Not as a declaration of war
On my life and sanity
Bdim(?) E7/5+ Am7add9
Now I know at last for me
Love is a catastrophe
