  Intro:   C   Em   G   G   Em   D   C


          Em
  Cold as ice
            G
  And more bitter than a december
          Em
  Winter night
D                C
  That's how I treated you
                  Em
  And I know that I
               G
  I sometimes tend to lose my temper
          Em
  And I cross the line
D                   C
  Yeah that's the truth

                  C        Em
  I know it gets hard sometimes
      G
  But I could never
   Em         D
  Leave your side
             C
  No matter what I say
 

                        C               Em
  Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now
      G
  But I really need you near me to
Em            D          C
  Keep my mind off the edge
                  C                  Em
  If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
       G
  But you're the only one that knows me
Em                D      C
  Better than I know myself
 

        Em
  All along
                 G
  I tried to pretend it didn't matter
             Em
  If I was alone
       D            C
  But deep down I know
               Em
  If you were gone
              G                                Em
  For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
D                    C
  Cause I'm lost without you

 
   C        Em
  I know it gets hard sometimes
      G
  But I could never
   Em         D
  Leave your side
             C
  No matter what I say


                   C               Em
  Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now
      G
  But I really need you near me to
Em            D          C
  Keep my mind off the edge
                  C                  Em
  If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
       G
  But you're the only one that knows me
Em                D      C
  Better than I know myself
 

G
  I get kind of dark

  Let it go too far
D
  I can be obnoxious at times
C
  But try and see my heart
G
  Cause I need you now

  So don't let me down
D
  You're the only thing in this world
C
  I would die without
 

                  C               Em
  Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now
      G
  But I really need you near me to
Em            D          C
  Keep my mind off the edge
                  C                  Em
  If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
       G
  But you're the only one that knows me
Em                D      C
  Better than I know myself

                  C               Em
  Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now
      G
  But I really need you near me to
Em            D          C
  Keep my mind off the edge
                  C                  Em
  If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
       G
  But you're the only one that knows me
Em                D      C
  Better than I know myself

  End on C
