Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Note: I would emphasize the "middle four" strings on these chords since these are the
ones that seem to be played on the song.
Verse
Note: The timing is really important here. Chords should be strummed on that exact
Oh and feel free to add a slap or something between chords since there is a beat of nothing.
From the moment the lights went off,
Everything had changed.
Lie awake in an empty room,
In my head it all feels the same.
Like the taste of the day you left,
It still lingers on my breath.
And the dampness of tears that left,
That stain where you had wept.
All alone with the negligee,
That still hangs off of my bed.
I keep meaning to give it away,
But I just leave it there instead.
Chorus
Note: This is very subtle, but DO NOT play Bb after that Cm. Only the bass note moves,
the chord is still on Cm. If you play Bb, it will sound very wrong.
No need to cry about it,
I can not live without it,
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.
Verse 2 has the same rhythm and same chords as Verse 1.
3 more days til I see your face,
Im afraid its far too much.
Cook a meal and fix up the place,
Dial your number, hang it up.
If I took you for granted,
I apologize for acting tough.
Youre my reason for living,
And theres no way Im giving up, oh.
Chorus 2 has the same rhythm and same chords as Chorus 1.
No need to cry about it,
I can not live without it,
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.

Now every evening is a bitter fight,
And Im eating all alone on a Friday night.
And I know what your friends say,
Hes just wasting your love and time.

I will never let you change your mind.
Chorus 3

Note: Another subtlety. The last line switches between some slight chord variations.
a look.
No need to cry about it,
I can not live without it,
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,
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.
Every time I wind up back at your door.
Every time I wind up back at your door.
Final Note: I will list some of the chords. All regular chords (I.E. G#, Bb, D#, etc.)
be bar chords.
