      A                                         E
I was there, I was there, when love crashed and burned,
      A
I was there.



      A
I was there when love came around with sweet, warm kisses.
      D                           A
I was there when it burned into desire.

I was there when it ran into a raging river,
                       E            A
And then turned into a runaway wild fire.



      A                        D          G 
I was there, I was there, when love came around,
D     A
I was there.

And one thing's for certain, I did all the hurtin',
                E              A
At love's final curtain, I was there.



A   E   A
INSTRUMENTAL



      A
I was there when love came in like a living tornado.
      D                            A
I was there when it blew out of control.
      
I was there when something quickly turned into nothing.
                          E                A
Just a hopeless, helpless dream gone up in smoke.



      A                        D          G
I was there, I was there, when love came around,
D     A
I was there.
    
And one thing's for certain, throughout all the hurtin',
                E              A
At love's final curtain, I was there.


      A                        D          G 
I was there, I was there, when love came around,
D     A
I was there.

And one thing's for certain, I did all the hurtin',
                E              A
At love's final curtain, I was there.


      A                        D          G

I was there.

And one thing's for certain, I did all the hurtin',
                E              A
At love's final curtain, I was there.  (song fades out)
