Tune your guitar flat!!!

C C7 F

You say you don't wanna go but you've got to understand

Bb C C7

That you're so far away from me and I'm all alone

F

Even when you're standing next to me

Bb

Deep inside, I feel you want to go free

Am H C F

I wanted you eternally

Am H C F G

I see the truth, now that you've lied to me

C Bb

Can't you see that the pain breaks me in two

F/A

It takes me from you

G# Bb

I feel it stop my beating heart, with every little thing you do

C Bb F/A

It tears me apart, please make it stop and be mine again

G# Bb

So we can take it right back to the moment

C Bb F/A G# Bb

Where we start again (lick 1)

Lick 1 (w/slide)

C C7

And baby, you say you already know

F

But you won't ever understand

Bb C

What it's like to feel you slippin' away from me

C7

I'm down on my knees

F

Even though I tried to carry on

Bb

Deep inside, I feel like I'm the only one

Am H C F

I wanted you eternally

Am H C F G

I see the truth, now that you've lied to me

C Bb

Can't you see that the pain breaks me in two

F/A

It takes me from you

G# Bb

I feel it stop my beating heart, with every little thing you do

C Bb F/A

It tears me apart, please make it stop and be mine again

G# Bb

So we can take it right back to the moment, where we start...

G# Bb

I feel like you're taking away

C (Lick 2)

My everything, my everything

G# Bb

'Cause everything you say and do

C

It's like your playing a part

G#

When the curtain finally closes

Bb

I wonder if you're going to take a bow

C

Before you break my heart, before you break my heart

Lick 2 (goes until solo starts)
