 VERSE:
    F#m          Bm            A           F#m
    Belinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
  A         Bm   
    Holdin' Jim
  A            Bm

    Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
  A        Bm

  VERSE:
    I've had it to here being where love's a small word

                           D              A            E
