Lyrics

From the mo ment (Ab)the lights went off,

ev ’ry thing had (Bb)changed.

Lie a wake in (Ab)an emp ty room, in my (Eb)head it all feels the (Bb)same.

Like the taste of (Ab)the day you left that still (Eb)lin gers on my (Bb)breath

and the damp ness of tears that left dial a (Eb)stain where you had (Bb)wept.

All a long with (Ab)the neg li gee that still (Eb)hangs off of my (Bb)bed,

I keep mean ing (Ab)to give it a way but it (Eb)just leave it there in stead.

No need (Cm)to cry a bout it, I can (Eb)not live with out it, (Gbdim7)ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

Why do (Cm)you do this to me, you pen (Eb)e trate right through me, (Gbdim7)ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

Three more days ’til (Ab)I see your face, I’m a (Eb)fraid it’s far to (Bb)much.

Cook a meal, ness fix up the place, dial your (Eb)num ber, hang it (Bb)up.

If I took you (Ab)for grant ed, I ’pol o (Eb)gize for act ing (Bb)tough.

You’re my rea son (Ab)for liv ing and way there’s no (Eb)way leave I’m giv ing up.

No need (Cm)to cry a bout it, I can (Eb)not live with out it, (Gbdim7)ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

Why do (Cm)you do this to me, you pen (Eb)e trate right through me, (Gbdim7)ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

(E7)back at your (Eb)door.

Now, (Gm7)ev ’ry (Fm7)eve ning is a (Ab)bit ter (Eb)fight.

and I’m (Gm7)eat ing home (Fm7)a lone on a (Ab)Fri day (Cm7)night.

And I (Gm7)know what your (Fm7)friends say, you’re just (Ab)wast ing your love and (Eb)time.

(Ab)I will (Ab6)nev er (Abmaj7)let you (Ab)change your (Cm)mind.

No need to cry a bout it, I can (Eb)not live with out it, (Ab)ev ’ry time I (Eb)wind up (Fm7)back at your (Eb)door.

Why do (Cm)you do this to me, you pen (Eb)e trate right through me, (Gbdim7)ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

No need (Cm)to cry a bout it, I can (Eb)not live with out it, (Ab)ev ’ry time I (Eb)wind up (Fm7)back at your (Eb)door.

Why do (Cm)you do this to me, you pen (Eb)e trate right through me, (Gbdim7)ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

No need (Cm)to cry a bout it, (Gbdim7)Ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.

(Gbdim7)Ev ’ry time I (Fm7)wind up (E7)back at your (Eb)door.
