Will ever love you,

Cause Nobody,  Nobody is that strong,

Love is bitter sweet,
A/E        A(flat 5th)/Eb
And life's treasures deep

A love that's gone wrong

Will love you the way that I could,

Cause Nobody's that strong.

Verse 2:
A              E(aug)
Nobody,        Nobody,

Cause Nobody is that strong
F#m             F(aug)
You've had many lovers,
A/E             A(flat 5th)/Eb 
You've had many others,

Your poor heart in two,
