Intro: ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 ) (4x)

E5
I was young
              A5
And I was a victim

Of her killer smile


F5
Her love was cheap
            C5
And it was great for a little while


E5
I had to leave
          A5
But she wanted me stay
      F5               
And she ripped up my shirt
              C5             ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
And left the marks of her disdain


G5                        ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
I couldn't take it no more
G5                               ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
I couldn't spend another night alone
G5                        
I couldn't take it no more


G5                   F5    
If this is where we ended up
         G5              C5                   F5
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                 D5
If everything I have is gone
     E5
Then what is wrong
A5          G5          C5
In spending time with you
F5
I'll keep you warm
E5
You'll hold me tight
C5                      ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
This might be our only night
( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )        ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
       I can't give up
         ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
No no no no, oh


E5
I tried to reconcile
              A5
But it never made a difference
F5                            C5
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife

It was so tense and cold
E5                             A5
And every time I tried to get little closer to you
F5
You got further and further away from me
C5                           ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
Until you faded into the distance
          ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
Yes you did
                       ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
There was nothing I could do


G5                   F5    
If this is where we ended up
         G5              C5                   F5
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                 D5
If everything I have is gone
     E5
Then what is wrong
A5         G5         C5  
In spending time with you
F5
I'll keep you warm
E5
When you hold me tight
C5                          ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
Coz this might be our only night
       ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
This might be the only night
                         ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
I can't spend another night alone


( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )

G5                    F5
If this is where we ended up
         G5              C5                   F5
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                D5
If everything I have is gone
              E5
Then what is wrong
A5         G5        C5
In spending time with you


G5                     F5
If this is where we ended up
         G5              C5                   F5
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                D5 
If everything I have is gone
              E5
Then what is wrong
A5         G5        C5
In spending time with you


F5                   E5
Keep me warm and I hold you tight
C5                             ( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )    
Coz this might be our only night


( F5 - E5 - G5 - G5 )
