[Verse 1]
 
Am
 Our time is done my love 
E
We've laid it all to waste
Dm
One thousand moonlit kisses
      E
can't sweeten this bitter taste
Am
My desire for you is endless
E
and I'll love you 'till we fall
             Dm             E
I just don't want you no more
               Am
and that's the sweetest embrace of all
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
 To think we can find happiness
E
 hidden in a kiss
Dm
 Ah, to think we can find happiness
            E
 that's the greatest mistake there is
Am
 There is nothing left to cling to babe
E
 There is nothing left to soil
             Dm             E
I just don't want you no more
               Am
and that's the sweetest embrace of all
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm   Am       F         G      Am
Oooh ohhh ... where did it begin
     Dm           Am
When all_ we did was lose
        B              E
There's nothin' left to win
 
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am
 So lay your weapons down
E
 they serve no purpose in your hands
Dm
 And if you wanna hold me then go ahead and hold me
    E
 I won't upset your plans 
         Am
 If it's revenge you want then take it babe
            E
 Or you can walk right out the door
          Dm       E
 I just don't care  anymore
                 Am
 And that's the sweetest embrace of all
 
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Dm   Am       F         G      Am
Oooh ohhh ... where did it begin
     Dm          Am
When all_ we did was lose
        B               E
There's nothin' left to win
 
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
A
          It's over babe
E
 And it really is a shame
        Dm
 We are losers you and me babe
      E
 In a rigged and crooked game
Am
  My desire for you is endless
       Em
 And I love you most of all
              Dm     E
 I just don't want you no more
                Am
 and that's the sweetest embrace of all
