VERSE 1: (with RIFF A 4 times)
=======
I always thought our relationship was cool
You played the role of havin' sense, I always played the fool 
But now something's different, I don't know the reason why
Whenever we seperate I almost want to cry  [Last measure first count: drum riff]

VERSE 2: (with RIFF A 4 times)
=======
And when I come home late you don't complain or call
So as a consequence I don't go out at all  
My friends are frightened, they don't know what's going on
They think they put a spell on me, and now my mind is gone

I'm standing at the altar as they play the wedding march
