Verse 1:
Ebm
  My eyes burn from
these tears
C#
  You think you'd 
                 B
learn over these years
Good things won't
Bbm       Abm
  last forever
Ebm
  So what the hell am
I supposed to do
C#
  You only wanted the things
               B
that I couldn't give to you
Bbm       Abm
  And you had it all anyway


Chorus:
Ebm
  So take take everything
C#
  and leave me scrambling
B
  Reaching for something that
  Bbm           Abm
wasn't there in the first place
Ebm
  So take take everything
C#
  and leave me scrambling
B
  Reaching for something that
  Bbm           Abm
wasn't there in the first place


Interlude: Ebm-- x4


Verse 2:
                         B
Tell me i'm wrong when I say
              C#
say I can't expect you to
         B         Bb
spend forever with me
B                 C#           Ebm C# B
  I live for that single moment
Bbm           Abm             Ebm
  I take back everything i've said
        C#
You wore those words on your lips
B           Bbm    Abm
  As if they meant anything anyway
Ebm           B
  Sometimes I feel I could drop
        C#
off the face of the earth
B                    Bbm
  It seems I do more harm than good
      Abm                B
And I don't know if it's worth
            C#
me loosing sleep over this


(Repeat Chorus)

stay forever with me
B
  I live for the
C#
single moment


(Repeat Chorus)
