AmGEmD What did I see, fool that I was?
AmGC Oh, a goddess with wings on her heels.
AmGEmD All my illusions projected on her;
AmGC The ideal that I wanted to see.
DCDC What did I know, fool that I was?
BbGF G F G F G F G G Oh, little by little I learned
DC My friends were dismayed
DC To see me betrayed,
BbGF G F G F G F G G But they knew they could never tell me.
AmGEmD What did I care, fool that I was?
AmGC Oh, little by little I burned,
AmGEmD Maybe sometimes, there might be a flaw,
AmGC But how pretty the picture was back then.
DCDC What did I do, fool that I was,
BbGF G F G F G F G G To profit from youthful mistakes?
DC It's shameful to tell
DC How often I fell
BbGF G F G F G F G G In love with delusions again.
