Intro:
Dm - G - C - Am

Verse 1:
Dm          G             C          Am
I know it's me who always leaves you stranded.
Dm     G      Am
We are always apart.
Dm         G             C            Am
I know you hate this but please don't end it.

      Dm          Bb
There must be a way.
  Dm             C Cmaj7
I wish I could stay.

Dm     G             C      Am
When I met you I was barely living.
Dm    G           Am
I was lost in the dark.
Dm           G         C           Am
But with the love that you've been giving.

    Dm              Bb
I'm back from the dead.
    Dm            C Cmaj7
With you in my head.

Chorus:
(Cmaj7)      Bb             F               Am   C
Because when I look in your eyes I know you understand.
     Bb          F                         Am         C
That good things always seem to slip right through my hands.
    Bb             F            Am        C
And everything but love is just grains of sand.
    Bb       F          C
But with you this is my life.
     Bb       F          C
Here with you this is my life.
Am         Dm
This is my life.

(Dm) - G - C - Am

Dm      G            C         Am
All day long I'm ok, while I'm working.
Dm     G          Am
But it hits me at night.
Dm         G           C        Am
When every part of me, for you, is hurting.

  Dm                 Bb
I go through withdrawals.
  Dm                C Cmaj7
I love you that's all.

Chorus:
(Cmaj7)      Bb             F               Am   C
Because when I look in your eyes I know you understand.
     Bb          F              Am         C
That good things always seem to slip right through my hands.
    Bb             F            Am        C
And everything but love is just grains of sand.
    Bb       F          C
But with you this is my life.
     Bb       F          C
Here with you this is my life.
Am         Dm
This is my life.

Bridge:
Dm                                 Bb
Why does it always have to be like this?
       C              F       Dm
Always desperate in a goodbye kiss.

And everything but love is just grains of sand.
