Bm                          G
Let me go I'm only letting you down  
D                            G
I 've got nothing to say to you now  
Bm                                      G
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down  
                 D
When I'm safe
   

Bm                                      G
It's turning morning all the birds sing  
D                                G
I'm not complicating anything  
Bm                                 G
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
           D
But I'll dream of you
  

                  Bm
Cause it's almost over  
              A4
And it's almost gone
 
Chorus
                              D           G
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming  
Bm            G
Sweet confusion, honey  
D           G                     Bm     A4
Sweet illusion coming down

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now  
 

Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G A4 
 
Bm                        G
You and I used to shine like a jewel
       D                                   G
But time's been nothing to us but cruel
Bm                                   G
So play it out and never play the fool
                      D  
Cause you'll lose every time  
 

Bm                                        G
We were nothing, we were only the past
D                        G
Hard times like that don't last  
Bm                                     G
I've been forgiven, I have been surpassed  
           D
By my heart

Have you?  


                  Bm
Cause it's almost over
                A4 
Yeah it's almost gone  


                              D           G
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming  
Bm            G
Sweet confusion, oh
D           G                     Bm     A4
Sweet illusion coming down 

And I ain't got nothing but love for you  
 
Bridge 
Em         G              D
Love for you I can't use
        Em               G                           A4  
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
                   A4  
That I can't resolve
 
note: very light picking on this verse 
Bm                                    G
You never knew me but I did my best  
D                       G
I'm just lonely inside I guess  
Bm                                          G
You gave me everything you really tried  
D
Thanks 
 

Bm                                           G
If we were nothing and we're only the past  
D                                    G
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess  
   Bm                                 G                                           D
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you  
 

                  Bm
Where it's almost over
                  A4  
And we're almost gone


                              D           G 
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming  
Bm            G
Sweet confusion, honey  
D           G                     Bm
Sweet illusion coming down  


                               D          G
Well I can feel the sweet illusion coming  
Bm            G
Sweet confusion, honey  
D           G                     Bm    A4
Sweet illusion coming down 

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
