E
What do you do when it's all behind you?
G#
Everyday something else reminds you
A
When the times were sweet
Am                     E             F#
Wings on your feet and bells on your toes?
A    Am     E
Only heaven knows


VERSE:
what do you do when you've lost the feeling?
Nowhere to go, you've reached the ceiling
Back down on the floor
No window, no door?
Yeah, everything's closed
And only heaven knows


CHORUS:

                E     022100

C#m                G#m
Love is a treat, a magical feat
  F#m           G#m
Illusion or for real.
       C#m                      G#m
You're never quite sure if it's true what you feel
   F#        A        Am     E
Or something that you felt before.


VERSE:
What do you do when you know you're losing?
Sit on your arse and let the blues in...?
Think of what you had and how it all went bad?
You send her a rose and only heaven knows.
