Verse 1

A
We met beneath the stars above
You thought that I'd fell in love
    E                  A
But I was only teasing you
I held you in these arms of mine
Loved another all the time
  E                      A    A7
I never dreamed of being true
             D
Thought that I'd be nice
Show you paradise
    A           F
And brighten up your way
         B
Then you got smart
Tried to break my heart
    E
But it just wouldn't bend that way
A
Now it's coming home to you
You're the one that's sad and blue
    E                  A
And I was only teasing you

Instrumental break

Verse 2

E                            A          E      A
Little and smart, breaker of hearts, oh what a shame
F                                   E
At last you're caught - in your own game
                                                    A
You kept breaking many hearts, but when you came to mine
   E
It wouldn't break, not even ache
                                  E
Now you're the one that's left to pine

We carved our initials on the tree
Named the baby after me
    E                  A
But I was only teasing you
