                      G

2. One day I ventured in love never once suspecting what the

C                           G

final result would be.  Now I

G                                                                G#                                                            

live in fear of waking up each morning, and

A                                                D

finding that you're gone from me.  There's an

G

aching pain in my heart called the name of the

C                            G

one that I hated to face, Someone

G

Else came out to win her,

                   D                     G       C   G

and I came out in second place.
