1.  that diamond burning holes in his pocket,
2.       I've done everything that I know of

                                G
1.  thinkin now's the perfect time.
2.        to make the feeling grow.

1.  When he popped the question he could see
2.  I've begged and I've pleaded with my heart,

                            C
1.  the tear drops fill her eyes.
2.  but there's no getting  through.

               D
1.  She said, "I knew this was comin  and I'm sorry,
2.  My heart's the only part of me
                            G
1.  but I hope  you'll  realize."
2.  that's not in love with you."

You can't make a heart love somebody.   You can
