Intro: D---Bm-A/C#-A-Bm-G-D/F#-Em-D/F# x4


Verse 1:
D
  I'm cracked from my head
            G
down to my spine 
         D
ready to self destruct 
   G                D
at any time and I'm trying
to convince myself that
    G
the way I'm feeling is all I have 
D
it could take a lifetime 
   G
to realize that you're alright 


Refrain:
(but she said) 
Em            G
I'd know when you 
would come back
Em          G 
it's been a summer


Chorus:
     D       Em    G
it's burning up in here 
     D          Em
even though the bed 
   G
is cold on your side 
D     Em     G
  I'd rather die than spend this
D     Em       G
night here without you 
         D       Em    G
now it's burning up in here 
     D          Em
even though the bed 
   G
is cold on your side 
D     Em     G
  I'd rather die than spend this
D     Em       G
night here without you
(without you) 


Interlude: D---Bm-A/C#-A-Bm-G-D/F#-Em-D/F# x2


Verse 2:
D
  I would try to fix 
               G
these flaws of mine 
           D
if I could just see you
(if I could just see you) 
    G
for one more time 
        D
and I'm trying to
convince myself
         G
that the way I'm 
felling is all I have 
  D
I don't believe 
in sure things
        G
there's pain in what
the truth brings


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)


Bridge:
D             Em           G
  I'll be the first one to know 
        D               Em          G
if it's wrong for me to just let it go 
            D                 Em
I'll be the laughing stock of all time
G 
person most likely to find 
  D              Em
deciding if it's fate that 
G
made you avoid me til this day


(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)


Outro: D---Bm-A/C#-A-Bm-G-D/F#-Em-D/F# x2
