I hear

a voice say, (A5)“Don’t be so blind.” It’s tell ing (Gsus2)me all these things that you would (A5)prob ab ly hide.

Am I

your one and (A5)on ly de sire?

Am I the (Gsus2)rea son you breathe, or am I the rea son you cry?

of Al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways.

I just can’t (D)live with out you.

I love you, I hate you, I can’t (A5)get a round you.

I breathe you, I taste you, I can’t (A5)live with out you.

I just can’t (G5)take an y more, this life of (C5)sol i tude.

I guess that (G5)I’m out the door, and that I’m (C5)done with you.

(D5)(Done with you...) (A5)Done with you.

(D5)(Done with you...)

I feel

like you don’t (A5)want me a round.

I guess I’ll (Gsus2)pack all my things.

I guess I’ll (A5)see you a round.

It’s all

been bot tled (A5)up un til now.

Am As I (Gsus2)walk out your door all am I can hear is the sound of al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways.

I just can’t (D)live with out you.

I love you, I hate you, I can’t (A5)get a round you.

I breathe you, I taste you, I can’t (A5)live with out you.

I just can’t (G5)take an y more, this life of (C5)sol i tude.

I guess that (G5)I’m out the door, and that I’m (C5)done with you.

(D5)(Done with you...) (A5)Done with you.

(D5)(Done with you...)

I love you, I hate you, I can’t (C5)live with out you.

I wrap my head a round your heart.

Why would you tear my world a part?

Al ways, al ways, al ways, al ways.

I see

the blood all (A5)o ver your hands.

Does it make you feel

(A5)more like a man?

Was it all

just a (A5)part of your plan?

The pis tol’s (Gsus2)shak in’ in my hands and all I (A5)hear is the sound...

I love you, I hate you, I can’t (A5)live with out you.

Is there a karaoke version of "Always" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Always" by Saliva. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Always" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in G, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Always" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
