G (*Riff) You led me on, with untrue kisses; You held me captive in your false em-brace. Bridge 1: Quicker than I could bat an eye, Seems you were telling me good-bye. Chorus 1: Just a minute ago your love was here, All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear. Sweetness was only heartache's camou-flage; The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

G (*Riff) Now all that's left are lipstick traces; From the kisses you only pre-tended to feel. Bridge 2: And now our meeting, you a-void, And so my world, you have des-troyed. Chorus 2: Just a minute ago your love was here, All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear. The way you wrecked my life was like sabo-tage, The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.
