Verse:
E
I can read the lines
        B/D#
On your face

And they’re telling me
F#m                      A
Everything I already know

Yeah
  E
I hold you in my arms
         B/D#
But your light-years away from me
F#m
Slowly sinking
           A
Under alone

Yeah


Prechorus:
     C#m B
So I act cool
       A
On the outside
         C#m    B
But it’s eating me
 A
Alive


Chorus:
                     E
Cuz when it comes to you
                      B
There’s nothing I can do
                 F#m
I can’t make you love me
         A
When you don’t
                 E
I see it in your eyes
              B
All the compromise
              F#m
I can’t take another
         A
Slow goodbye


Verse:
E
Sitting in the park
      B/D#
After dark

Smoking cigarettes
F#m                     A
Biting on the black of my nails
    E
Cuz all I ever wanted
         B/D#
Was what you took away from me
F#m
Trying to make it right
           A
But it’s too late


Prechorus:
      C#m      B
I’m a hopeless case
       A
On the inside
         C#m    B
And it’s eating me
 A
Alive


Chorus:
                     E
Cuz when it comes to you
                      B
There’s nothing I can do
                 F#m
I can’t make you love me
         A
When you don’t
                 E
I see it in your eyes
              B
All the compromise
              F#m
I can’t take another
         A
Slow goodbye


Bridge:
C#m  Abm
I    die
          A
A million times
                  E
Every time when you
               C#m
Look me in the eye
Abm
Die
         A              E
Cuz I’ve heard it all before
    C#m  Abm
The same game
      A       
Going around and around
    E                   A
But I still end up with nothing
    A - B
But hurting


Interlude: E - Bsus4 - F#m - A

Chorus/Outro:
                     E
Cuz when it comes to you
                      B
There’s nothing I can do
                 F#m
I can’t make you love me
         A
When you don’t
                 E
I see it in your eyes
              B
All the compromise
              F#m
I can’t take another
         A
Slow goodbye

E
Yeah
                      B
There’s nothing I can do
                 F#m
I can’t make you love me
         A
When you don’t
                 E
I see it in your eyes
              B
All the compromise
              F#m
I can’t take another
         A              E
Slow goodbye


End on E
