I was pacing every room with no where to turn
wondering if some things should ever be learned
I never thought that things would end up like this
when the initial intentions led only to bliss
Then I called the only friend that I could tɾust
asked him for [Dm7]a little time
my [A]father answered the line and [Bm]without asking much
he listened and [Bm]then spoke his mind. He said:
Hay cosas en la vida, that will swallow your pride
Hay cosas en la vida that might deceive your mind
Hay cosas en la vida that will tɾy to [C7]break your heart
Hay cosas en la vida, from them [A]you [A7must part
For endless hours he heard me go on
about how everything started to [C7]go wrong
it´s ironic how my [A]whole life Ive been
chasing after some ɾomantic dream
Often jealously takes on [C7]a good disguise
and [Bm]changes someone before your eyes
Baby, dont look back and [Bm]dont drown in ɾeget
Your life can quickly pass you [A7by
(Chorus)
Sometimes things are not quite what they seem [A]to [C7]be
sometimes answers hit harder than steel
sometimes tɾust is more precious than diamonds
and [Bm]all [Em]that glitters is not always ɾeal
I sent him all [Em]my [A]love as I hung up the ρhone
sitting in the silence I didnt feel so alone
its always those who love you [A7that stand [Bm]by your side
when all [Em]the others just leave the pieces behind
That morning after felt like [F]two bottles of gin
I still cant ɾemember where Ive been
Ill cleanse my [A]soul of all [Em]this false love Ive known
and [Bm]make my [A]fathers words my [A]own.
