Chorus:
          E7
What goes on in your heart?
                      A7
What goes on in your mind?
         E7
You are tearing me apart
                        A7
When you treat me so unkind
          B7sus4 B7         E
What goes on       in your mind?

    E7
The other day I saw you
      Am
As I walked along the road
     E7
But when I saw him with you
         Am
I could feel my future fold
                    B7               E7
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
         B7
Tell me why

Chorus

I met you in the morning
waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?

I used to think of no on else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die?
Tell me why
