[Opening]
I [D]asked her to stay, but she wouldn’t [Em]listen
She [A]left before I had the chance to [D]say, [D]oh
the [Bm]words that were meant, the things that were [Em]broken
But [G]now it’s far too [A]late she’s gone [D]away.
[verse 2]
Every [D]night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking [Bm]why does this happen to me
Why does [G]every moment have to be so [A]hard? Hard to believe it
[chorus]
[D]It’s not over tonight
Just give me one more [Em]chance to make it right
I may not make it [G]through the night
I [A]won’t go home [D]without you
[verse 3]
The [Bm]taste of her breath, I’ll never get [Em]over
And the [A]noises that she made keep me [D]awake, [D]oh
the [Bm]weight of things, re-main [Em]unspoken
built [G]up so much it [A]crushed us [D]everyday
[verse 4]
Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking [Bm]why does this hap-pen to me
Why does [G]every moment have to be so [A]hard? Hard to believe it
[chorus]
[D]It’s not over tonight
Just give me one more [Em]chance to make it right
I may not make it [G]through the night
I [A]won’t go home [D]without you
[chorus]
[D]It’s not over tonight
Just give me one more [Em]chance to make it right
I may not make it [G]through the night
I [A]won’t go home [D]without you
[verse 5]
[C]Of all the [G]things I felt I’ve [D]never really [A]showed
[F]Perhaps the [C]worst is that I[G]ever let you [A]go,
Should not ever let you go oh oh oh oh
[chorus]
[D]It’s not over to night
Just give me one more [Em]chance to make it right
I may not make it [G]through the night
I [A]won’t go home [D]without you
[chorus]
[D]It’s not over to night
Just give me one more [Em]chance to make it right
I may not make it [G]through the night
I [A]won’t go home [D]without you
[Closing]
I won’t go home without you
I won’t go home [Bm]without you
I [G]won’t go home [D]without you
