Verse:
[E]I can read the lines
On your [B/Eb]face
And they?re telling me
[F#m]Everything I already know[A]
Yeah
I [E]hold you in my arms
But your [B/Eb]light-years away from me
[F#m]Slowly sinking
Under alone[A]
Yeah
Prechorus:
So I [C#m]act [B]cool
On the [A]outside
But it?s [C#m]eating [B]me
A[A]live
Chorus:
Cuz when it comes to [E]you
There?s nothing I can [B]do
I can?t make you [F#m]love me
When you [A]don?t
I see it in your [E]eyes
All the compro[B]mise
I can?t take a[F#m]nother
Slow good[A]bye
Verse:
[E]Sitting in the park
After [B/Eb]dark
Smoking cigarettes
[F#m]Biting on the black of m[A]y nails
Cuz [E]all I ever wanted
Was what [B/Eb]you took away from me
[F#m]Trying to make it right
But it?s to[A]o late
Prechorus:
I?m a [C#m]hopeless [B]case
On the [A]inside
And it?s [C#m]eating [B]me
A[A]live
Chorus:
Cuz when it comes to [E]you
There?s nothing I can [B]do
I can?t make you [F#m]love me
When you [A]don?t
I see it in your [E]eyes
All the compro[B]mise
I can?t take a[F#m]nother
Slow good[A]bye
Bridge:
[C#m]I [G#m]die
A million [A]times
Every time when yo[E]u
Look me in the [C#m]eye
[G#m]Die
Cuz I?ve [A]heard it all be[E]fore
The [C#m]same [G#m]game
Going [A]around and around
But [E]I still end up with [A]nothing
But [A]hu[-]rt[B]ing
Interlude: E - Bsus - F#m - A
