Verse 1

I am a man 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
Come and then go
She was a girl 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
Soft but estranged
We were the two 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
Our lives rearranged

Pre-Chorus

Feeling so good that day 
A feeling of love that day

Chorus

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl  
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl  
He loves no one else 

Verse 2

Raised by my dad 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
Girl of the day
He was my man 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
That was the way
She was the girl 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
Left alone
Feeling the need 
G#6add11 G#maj9 G#*
To make me her home

Pre-Chorus

I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Chorus

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl  
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl  
He loves no one else
