Love is a catastrophe

Look what it's done to me

/6

Brought me down here so low

(?) /5+

Stranded, nowhere to go

No concentration

Just rerunning conversation

/6

Trying to understand

(?) /5+

How I fell into this quicksand

What happens next?

With life I'm unimpressed

/6

Pain like a cutter's knife

(?) /5+

Never been lonelier in my life

Solo

Who issued the instruction

For this mad act of destruction?

/6

An end to equilibrium

(?) /5+

Fate laughs: Look what we've done to him

High wind through the trees

Falling November leaves

/6

A weak sun hanging low

(?) /5+

Summer seems so long ago

 | Am7add9 | % | | % |

All my former dreams

Tender romantic schemes

 Revealed as so naive

 To think I could believe

 In love as the kindest law

Not as a declaration of war

/6

On my life and sanity

(?) /5+ Am7add9

Now I know at last for me

 Love is a catastrophe
