Lyrics

Still is the (G6)life

of your room when you’re (F6)not in side.

And all of your (G6)things

tell the sweet est (F)sto ry line.

Your tears on these (G)sheets

and your foot steps are (F6)down the hall.

So tell me what I did.

I can’t (D)find where the mo ment went (E)wrong at all.

You can be (D)mad in the morn ing.

I’ll take (F#m7)back what I said.

Just don’t leave me a (C#m7)lone here.

It’s (D)cold, ba by.

(D)Come back to (Asus4)bed,

(D)come back (D)to (Asus4)bed,

(D)come back (D)to (Asus4)bed,

(D)come back (D)to (Asus4)bed,

come on back to (F6)bed.

What will this (G6)fix?

You know you’re not a (F)quick for give.

And I won’t sleep through (G)this.

I sur vive on the breath you are (E)fin ished with.

You can be (Asus4)bed.

You can be (F#m7)mad in the morn (D)ing

or the (F#m7)af ter noon in stead.

But don’t leave me (F#m7)nine ty eight and six de (C#m7)grees of sep a ra tion (D)from you, ba by.

(D)Come back to (Asus4)bed,

(D)come back to (Asus4)bed,

(D)come back (D)to (Asus4)bed.

Why don’t you come back to (Asus4)bed?

Don’t (A)hold your love o ver my (D)head.

Don’t (A)hold your love o ver my (D)head.

Don’t (A)hold your love o ver my (D)head.

Don’t (A)hold your love o ver my (D)head.

Don’t (D)head.

Don’t (A)hold your love (Amaj7)o ver my (D69)head.

Don’t (A)hold your love...
