Verse 1:
F#m                   C#7                        F#m
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find.
F#m                C#7                            F#m
I tried to reach for you but you have closed your mind.

Whatever happened to our love?
Bm            F#m
I wish I understood.
F#m              C#7                    F#m
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.


Chorus:
A              E        Bm                D        A/Asus4/A/Asus4
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, SOS
A            E        Bm               D       A/Asus4/A/Asus4 
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, SOS

         D             F      G         A
When I'm gone, how can I even try to go on 
         D             F      G         A
When I'm gone, how can I even try to go on 


Verse 2:
You seem so far away, though you are standing near.
You make me feel alive but something's died, I fear.
I really tried to make it up.  I wish I understood.
What happened to our love?  It used to be so good.
