C Fmaj7
Every time you go away
D Fmaj7
I know there's nothing I can say
D Fmaj7
But I don't know how to stay alive
D Fmaj7
No matter what I keep inside
C C/B Asus2 G D
Or what I let escape from the place where you walked through
Dm G Am C/G
But I wouldn't want a life without you
Dm G
No I wouldn't want a life without you
{chords are the same as verse 1}
Everytime you go away
There are some rules I do obey
If you had to watch me scream and cry
You'd feel the need I'm living by
A fragment of the pain that the world has put me through
Dm G Am C/G
But I wouldn't want a life without you
Dm G
No I wouldn't want a life without you
SOLO
If you had to watch me scream and cry
You'd feel the need I'm living by
A fragment of the pain that the world has put me through
But I wouldn't want a life without you
No I wouldn't want a life without you
