i guess it's a curse
don't know what's worse
loving you or loving no one
love too much, love too late
always leads to hate
loving you is loving no one

here it comes again
leave me out of this
i can't take the risk
C7
i love too much or not enough
F F C7 F
once upon a broken heart
i looked for a fresh start
guess i really had it coming
guess i didn't know
how far you would go
no, i never saw you coming
Bb F
i know this pain
here it comes again
leave me out of this
i can't take the risk
C7
you love too much but not enough

A Bm C#m E
you… you say you’re better now, that you’ve grown up somehow, but i have my doubts
it’s great you say you’ve seen reason, changed like the seasons, should i believe in
Bm C#m Bm E
you… you…
A Bm C#m E
you… you said you did me wrong, but you know that i’m strong, you hope we’ll get along
it’s great you’ve said you’re sorry, but i still worry, what do you want from me
Bm C#m Bm E
you… you…
Bm B D B7
have you lost your aggression, did you really learn your lesson?
i don’t know if i can trust you, is what you’re saying really true?
A Bm C#m E
you… you still look the same, the way you call my name, and i feel so ashamed
cuz it’s hard to forgive the past, even now that you’ve asked, i guess that pain lasts
Bm C#m Bm E
you… you…
Bm
you…

C Dm F C
you are in full bloom, even as it starts to snow
you turn back the winter and you melt away the cold
you’ve got this power that you hold so easily
all you have to do is smile and you make a fool of me
C/Am Dm E F
i got you under my skin, yeah, you’re burrowing in
you say you don’t know what’s right but baby that’s life
you’re tugging my strings, filling my head with these things
(hold F ) and i, i, i… i got you oo oo oo, i got you oo oo oo (etc)
C F
C Dm F C
you must have magic, otherwise i can’t believe
how you turn my head to springtime oh so effortlessly
you give me this feeling and it fills me to the brim
suddenly i’m in your waters, and i don’t care if i can’t swim
C/Am Dm E F
i got you under my skin, yeah, you’re burrowing in
you say you don’t know what’s right but baby that’s life

i will greet you, smile on my face

you could say my name and hold me near
i could be the one, your love, your dear
look at me and tell me that i’m wrong
when you leave just let me come along
F Dm Bb
meet me on friday, maybe we’ll hold hands
take me with you, don’t say that you have plans

Bb F Dm
you could say my name and hold me near
i could be the one, your love, your dear

when you leave just let me come along
this could be a day we won’t forget
please don’t let me end up your regret
you could be my one, i know it’s true
in five years will i remember you?
you could say my name and hold me near
i could be the one, your love, your dear

when you leave just let me come along

C#m F#m B E-B
you don’t love me
you’re holding back, i can see
you don’t want to hurt me
but you don’t love me
(“you don’t love me” sung in bg)
i never thought i’d be so weak, but i fear i might break
you try so hard to be considerate, but i wish that you’d just take
take it all, take it all from me
(single strum) but you don’t love me
F#m B E C#m
it’s easy to see — that you don’t love me
and it cuts so deep — cuz you don’t love me
and i know — you’ve fallen for her
but i can’t let you go — i’m a goner
C#m B
C#m F#m B E-B
you don’t love me
you’re holding back, i can see
you don’t want to hurt me
but you don’t love me
F#m B E C#m
and it’s easy to see — when you don’t love me
it cuts me so deep — cuz you don’t love me
yeah i know — you’ve fallen for her
i can’t let you go — i’m a goner
it’s so easy to see — that you don’t love me
and it cuts so damn deep — why don’t you love me
so what if i know — that you’ve fallen for her
i still can’t let you go — i’m a goner
[strumming, humming, and crying]
…you don’t love me
it’s so easy to see — that you don’t love me
and it cuts so damn deep — why don’t you love me
so what if i know — that you’ve fallen for her
i still can’t let you go — yeah i’m a goner

anymore

i was once your sole source of comfort
you called to me whenever you were sore
but now you’ve gone and found yourself another
can he help you when you’re wanting more?
i would find my comfort in the embers
knowing that a flame had once been there
you, you woke me up from my slumber
but now i look and i don’t know where
you are, you are
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore
i am a moth to your flame
i will not come out the same
i am awash with this pain
i am calling out in vain
i remember when i was the only
one that you held in your esteem
your heart’s a gift that you gave freely
but then just as quickly took from me
your heart, your heart
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore
you don’t need me anymore

capo 1
Gm (or G) C
all along… i was waiting, i was watching you
i could see you from behind the trees
you make me nervous, bring me to my knees
all along… you held me and i held my breath
i could taste your blood upon my lips
you make me so goddamn nervous
all this time i had you in my sights
you saw through all my pride
you make me terrified
kill me baby, make me bleed, you know every person has got their needs
the night is dark and there’s wolves in the trees, hurt me now don’t make me say please
all along… you made me ache and i was helpless
i could feel you deep within my bones
feel vibrations in the way you moan
all along… you whispered softly but you hit me deep
you made me feel like i was hypnotized
i drink your words i can’t see through your lies
all this time, you were making me a part of you
you made want to make you need me too
i was so addicted to you
kill me baby, make me bleed, you know every person has got their needs
the night is dark and there’s wolves in the trees, hurt me now don’t make me say please
hurt me baby, dig in deep, you be the wolf and i’ll be the sheep
tie me down and set me free, you be the cure i’ll be the disease
kill me baby, make me bleed, you know every person has got their needs
the night is dark, you’re the wolf in the trees, hurt me now, i’m begging, please

Dm Am Gm Dm
i made a mistake
i let you in
and now i’m terrified
to love again
you kept me tied
like i was yours to own
i don’t want to fight anymore
i just want to go home
Gm A7 Gm A
after all the lies are you satisfied
are you finally done with me?
Gm A7 Gm C#º (o1o4)
my beating heart has been torn apart
will you please just let me be?
C#º A7
every time i think that i’m alone
i feel you watching me
Dm Am Gm Dm
i made a mistake
i let you under my skin
and now i’m terrified
that i’ve let you win
you kept me locked up
you jailed me with your eyes
i don’t want to fight anymore
i just want to survive
Gm A7 Gm A
after all the lies are you satisfied
are you finally done with me?
Gm A7 Gm C#º (o1o4)
my beating heart has been torn apart
will you please just let me be?
Dm Am Gm Dm
i made a mistake
i let you in
and now i’m terrified
to love again
