Intro: ( F - Em - G - G ) (4x)

Em
I was young
              Am
And I was a victim

Of her killer smile


F
Her love was cheap
            C
And it was great for a little while


Em
I had to leave
          Am
But she wanted me stay
      F               
And she ripped up my shirt
              C             ( F - Em - G - G )
And left the marks of her disdain


G                        ( F - Em - G - G )
I couldn't take it no more
G                               ( F - Em - G - G )
I couldn't spend another night alone
G                        
I couldn't take it no more


G                   F    
If this is where we ended up
         G              C                   F
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                 Dm
If everything I have is gone
     E
Then what is wrong
Am          G/B          C
In spending time with you
F
I'll keep you warm
Em
You'll hold me tight
C                      ( F - Em - G - G )
This might be our only night
( F - Em - G - G )        ( F - Em - G - G )
       I can't give up
         ( F - Em - G - G )
No no no no, oh


Em
I tried to reconcile
              Am
But it never made a difference
F                            C
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife

It was so tense and cold
Em                             Am
And every time I tried to get little closer to you
F
You got further and further away from me
C                           ( F - Em - G - G )
Until you faded into the distance
          ( F - Em - G - G )
Yes you did
                       ( F - Em - G - G )
There was nothing I could do


G                   F    
If this is where we ended up
         G              C                   F
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                 Dm
If everything I have is gone
     E
Then what is wrong
Am         G/B         C  
In spending time with you
F
I'll keep you warm
Em
When you hold me tight
C                          ( F - Em - G - G )
Coz this might be our only night
       ( F - Em - G - G )
This might be the only night
                         ( F - Em - G - G )
I can't spend another night alone


( F - Em - G - G )

G                    F
If this is where we ended up
         G              C                   F
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                Dm
If everything I have is gone
              E
Then what is wrong
Am         G/B        C
In spending time with you


G                     F
If this is where we ended up
         G              C                   F
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                Dm 
If everything I have is gone
              E
Then what is wrong
Am         G/B        C
In spending time with you


F                   Em
Keep me warm and I hold you tight
C                             ( F - Em - G - G )    
Coz this might be our only night


( F - Em - G - G )
