Ab       E     Abm7   
I am a man
E            Ab     Ab

Rarely do friends

She was a girl

Our lives rearranged

A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning

You're breaking the girl

Think you're so clever
    B            Dbm
But now you must sever

You're breaking the girl

He loves no one else

Verse:
Ab            E     Abm7  
Raised by my dad
E           Ab     Ab 
Girl of the day
Ab         E     Abm7 
He was my man
E           Ab     Ab 
That was the way
Ab           E     Abm7 
She was the girl
E      Ab     Ab 
Left alone
Ab           E     Abm7
Feeling the need
E              Ab     Ab 
To make me her home

Pre-Chorus:
B       Gb                 Abm      
I don't know what when or why

The twilight of love had arrived

You're breaking the girl

He loves no one else

the F7 in verse 3 should be a Gb, but otherwise great chords for a fantastic song!

idk if anyone was having trouble with this, but the picking/strumming i do is the c string once and then i strum both the e and a strings twice

-2 is the easiest imo
