(Em7)Cruel to the eye,

I see the (Dsus2)way he makes you smile.

(Em7)Cruel to the eye,

watch ing him (Dsus2)hold what used to be mine.

Why did I (Csus2)lie?

What did I (Cmaj7)walk a way to find?

Oh, (Csus2)why?

(D7sus4)Oh, (Cmaj7)why?

(Em7)I

can’t breathe (D)ea sy.

Can’t (Csus2)sleep at night

’til (Cmaj7)you’re by my side.

No, (Em7)I

can’t breathe (D)ea sy.

I can’t (Cmaj9)dream yet a no ther dream with out you ly ing next to me, there’s no (Cmaj7)air.

(F5)Curse me in (Em7)-

for ev e ry (Dsus2)word that caused to cry.

Curse me in (Em7)side,

I won’t for (Dsus2)get, no I won’t ba by, I

don’t know (Csus2)why,

don’t know why I left the (Cmaj7)one I was look ing find.

Can’t (Csus2)sleep at night

’til (Cmaj7)you’re by my side.

Can’t breathe ea sy.

I can’t (Cmaj9)dream yet a no ther dream with out you ly ing next to me, there’s no (Cmaj7)air.
