Dm                    A7                           Dm
Where are those happy days - they seem so hard to find.

I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind.
F                 C
Whatever happened to our love?
Gm            Dm
I wish I understood.
Dm               A7                     Dm
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.

When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near.
Dm                 A7                           Dm
You make me feel alive but something died, I fear.
F                 C       Gm            Dm
I really tried to make it up - I wish I understood.

What happened to our love, it used to be so good.

You forgot the bit between the verse and the chours: [Dm A Dm C] [F Gm F C] Change on the beat. Fine besides that.
