F
Livin' on your own can be a lonely game
   C
A face in the crown, no one knows your name
         Bb                                    Am7
It's a table for one and a broken heart to go
F
She's the kind of lover that you always dreamed
       C
would come to stay and never wanna leave
      Bb                                            Am7
But that's all changed; she's dealt the final blow
Chorus:
G
Heaven knows what you were thinkin of
       Dm                            Bb             C
Don't blame yourself, you're just a victim of love
F
It doesn't matter who was right or wrong
   C
When the fire is over, when the magic's gone
         Bb                                    Am7
You pick up the pieces, and do the best you can
F
It knocks you down, but you try it again
       C
You get a little older, it's a cryin' shame
      Bb                                   Am7
Sometimes things don't work out like you plan
G
Who's gonna help you when you've had enough
    Dm                       Bb             C
It ain't no secret you're a victim of love
G
Heaven knows what you were thinkin' of
       Dm                           Bb
Don't blame youself, you're just a victim of love
F
One goodbye was really all it took
   C
Now you thumb through the pages of your little black book
         Bb                            Am7
But somehow all the numbers look the same
F
You've been thinkin' how to get around it
       C
But there ain't nothin' you can do about it
      Bb                            Am7
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained

(Chorus)

G
Ain't nothin' you can't rise above
    Dm                       Bb             C
Call it what you want but you're a victim of love
G
Who's gonna help you when you've had enough
       Dm                           Bb
Ain't no secret you're a victim of love
