Intro – F#m Fm E D#
Cm G#
From the moment the lights went off
D# Bb
Everything had changed
Cm G#
Lie awake in an empty room
D# Bb
In my head it all feels the same
Cm G#
Like the taste of the day you left
D# Bb
That still lingers on my breath
Cm G#
And the dampness of tears that left
D# Bb
A stain where you had wept
Cm G#
All alone with the negligee
D# Bb
That still hangs off of my bed
Cm G#
I keep meaning to give it away
D# Bb
But I just leave it there instead
Cm Bb
No need to cry about it
G# D#
I cannot live without it
F#m Fm E D#
Every time I wind up back at your door
Cm Bb
Why do you do this to me?
G# D#
You penetrate right through me
F#m Fm E D#
Every time I wind up back at your door
Cm G#
Three more days til I see your face
D# Bb
I’m afraid it’s far too much
Cm G#
Cook a meal and fix up the place
D# Bb
Dial your number, hang it up
Cm G#
If I took you for granted
D# Bb
I apologize for acting tough
Cm G#
You’re my reason for living
D# Bb
And there’s no way I’m giving up, oh
Cm Bb
Don’t need to cry about it
G# D#
I cannot live without it
F#m Fm E D#
Every time I wind up back at your door
Cm Bb
Why do you do this to me?
G# D#
You penetrate right through me
F#m Fm E D#
Every time I wind up back at your door
Gm Fm G# D#
Now every evening is a bitter fight
Gm Fm G# D#
And I’m eating home alone on a Friday night
Gm Fm
I know what your friends say
G# D#
“You’re just wasting your love and time”
G# Fm G#
I will never let you change your mind
Cm Bb
No need to cry about it
G# D#
I cannot live without it
F#m Fm E D#
Every time I wind up back at your door

Why do you do this to me?

You penetrate right through me

Every time I wind up back at your door

No need to cry about it

I may just die without it

Why do you do this to me?

You penetrate right through me

Every time I wind up back at your door
