Intro End.
Em G
She fills my bed with gasoline,
D C
you think I would've noticed
Em
Her mind's made up,
G D C Em
the love is gone I think someone's trying to show us a sign
G
That even if we thought it could last,
D C
the moment would pass
Em G D C
My bones will break and my heart will give,
C
oh it hurts to live
Em G D
I remember the day, when you left for santa monica,
Csus2
You left me to remain with all your excuses for
Em
everything
G D
I remember the time, when you left for Santa Monica
Csus2
I remember the day you told me it's over.
Em G
it hurt to breath
D C Em
every time that your not hear next to me
her minds made up
G
the girl is gone
D C
and now i'm forced to see
i think i'm on my way oh it hurts to lift and bleed
she said don't you wish you were dead like me
i wanted more than this i needed more than this
have some more than this but it just wont stop
just wont go away
i wanted more than this i neede more than this
have some more of this it just wont stop
just wont go away
and i remember the day when you left for santa monica
you left me to remain with all your excuses
for everything
and i remember a time when you left it all behind
i remember the day you told me it's over
