Chord reference Am, F, C, G, G#, Dm, Em
Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

From the moment the [F]lights went [C]off, Everything had [G][Am]changed. Lie awake in an [F]empty room, In my [C]head it all feels [G]the [Am]same. Like the taste of the [F]day you left, It still [C]lingers on [G]my [Am]breath. And the dampness of [F]tears that left, That [C]stain where you [G]had [Am]wept. All alone with the [F]negligee, That still [C]hangs off of [G]my [Am]bed. I keep meaning to [F]give it away, But I [C]just leave it there [G]instead.

No need to [Am]cry about [F]it, I can not [C]live without it, [G#]Every time I [Bb]wind up [G]back at [C]your [Am]door. Why do you [Am]do this to [F]me? You [C]penetrate right through me. [G#]Every time I [Bb]wind up [G]back at [C]your door.

3 more days ‘til I see your face, I’m afraid it’s 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. You’re my reason for living, And there’s no way I’m 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 [Em]every [Dm]evening is a [F][C]bitter fight, And I’m [Em]eating all [Dm]alone on a [F][C]Friday night. And I [Em]know what your [Dm]friends say, “He’s just [F]wasting your love [C]and time.” [F]I will never [G]let you change your mind.

No need to [Am]cry about [F]it, I can not [C]live without it, [F]Every time I[C] wind u[G]p back at yo[C]ur do[Am]or. Why do you [Am]do this to [F]me? You [C]penetrate right through me. [G#]Every time I [Bb]wind up [G]back at [C]your [Am]door. No need to [Am]cry about [F]it, I may just [C]die without it, [F]Every time I[C] wind u[G]p back at yo[C]ur do[Am]or. Why do you [Am]do this to [F]me? You [C]penetrate right through me. [G#]Every time I [Bb]wind up [G]back at [C]your door.

[G#]Every time I [Bb]wind up [G]back at [C]your door. [G#]Every time I [Bb]wind up [G]back at [C]your door.
