[Verse 1]
    D                                       A6
If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.
                        C        CM7                 C   CM7
I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
                   G
It's tearing me apart, it's ruining everything.
    D                                                A6
I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
                             C        CM7              C
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
         CM7             G
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?
 
[Chorus]
               D                          A6
But I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you.
                               C       CM7        C
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
        CM7              G
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
                         D
Do you have to let it linger?
 
[Refrain]
      A6                                   C       CM7       C
Oh, I thought the world of you, I thought nothing could go wrong,
CM7         G
But I was wrong, I was wrong.
 
[Verse 2]
    D                                      A6
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
                         C         CM7                  C
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
        CM7            G
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.
 
[Chorus]
               D                          A6
And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you,
                                C      CM7        C
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
        CM7             G
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
                        D
Do you have to let it linger?
 
(Interlude)
 
[Chorus]
               D                          A6
And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you,
                                C      CM7        C
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
        CM7             G
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
                        D
Do you have to let it linger?
                      A6
You know I'm such a fool for you,
                                C      CM7        C
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
        CM7             G
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
                        D
Do you have to let it linger?

This sounds more like the live performance than any other version. It may look more difficult because of all the chords but I actually found it the easiest to play as well. Good job to the writer.
