C             E7       Am           C7
They say that love’s a sweet thing
        F          A7              Dm     C7
And for lovers the sun will always shine
       F                  D7/F#
But in spite of what they say
  G            E7/G#      Am
I think of love this way

[Chorus]
        D7
Love is bitter
        G7
Love is hopeless
        C      C7
Love is blind

[Bridge]
F             G        C           C7
I learned the hard and lonely way
F              G                 C      C7
That love can’t last through the years
F         D7/F#    G     E7/G#  Am
I spent a thousand empty yesterdays
D7                      G7
Hiding behind a veil of tears

[Verse 2]
C        E7          Am         C7
Now poets may write about love
    F        A7           Dm      C7
And wise men may sing its praise
         F        D7/F#
But I’ll always remember
     G              E7/G#  Am
As I go through the empty days

[Chorus]
        D7
Love is bitter
        G7
Love is hopeless
        C      E7  Am  F  Am
Love is blind
