[Opening]
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.

[verse 2]
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.

[verse 3]
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.

[verse 4]
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.

[verse 5]
Chorus 2 has the same rhythm
and same chords as Chorus 1.

[verse 6]
No need to cry about it,
I can not live without it,
Every time I wind up back at your door.

[verse 7]
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me.
Every time I wind up back at your door.

[verse 8]
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.

[verse 9]
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.

[Closing]
[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.
