(VERSE)

[Am]Let me go I'm only [G6]letting you down

[C]I 've got [C/G]nothing to [Fmaj7]say to you now

 
 -e----------------------------0-1-0------|-
 -B--------------------------1-------1----|-
 -G------------------------2-----------2--|-

[Am]I lose the feelings that are [G6]weighing me down

When I'm[C] sa[C/G]fe[Fmaj7]

(same chords as above)

It's turning morning all the birds sing

I'm not complicating anything

I'll have another then I'll go to bed

But I'll dream of you

(BRIDGE)

[Am]Cause it's almost over

[G]And it's almost gone

(CHORUS)

And I can feel the [C]sweet [Fmaj7]illusion, coming

[Am]Sweet [G]confusion, honey

[C]Sweet [Fmaj7]illusion coming [G7]down

[G7]And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

You and I used to shine like a jewel

But times been nothing to us but cruel

So play it out and never played the fool

Cause you'll lose every time

We were nothing, we were only the past

Hard times like that don't last

I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed

By my heart

Have you?

Cause it's almost over

Yeah it's almost gone

And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming

Sweet Confusion, honey

Sweet Illusion [Am]coming down

[G]And I ain't got nothing but love for you

[Dm]Love for [Fmaj7]you I can't us[C]e[G]

And [Dm]lonely [Fmaj7]nights multiplied by the [G7]blues

[G7]That I can't resolve

You never knew me but I did my best

I'm just lonely inside I guess

You gave me everything you really tried

Thanks....

If we were nothing and we're only the past

Then I'm just living in a dream I guess

A long black dream that takes me down the river to you

Where it's almost over

And we're almost gone

And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming

Sweet Confusion, honey

Sweet Illusion coming down

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