[Intro] EmC X2
[Verse 1] EmC To say the things I want to say to you would be a crime EmC To admit Im still in love with you after all this time DEm Id rather let you touch my arm until you die DC Seduce with me with your charms until Im drunk on them Em Go home and drink in bed DC And never let myself be in love like that again
EmC
[Verse 2] EmC Light a cigarette and think of you and walk away EmC Turning all the words around in my head I wont say DC Because all of these triangles and squares Em the memory we seem to share DC replays a distant love that plays my records on
Em
[Chorus] DCEmDC Ne-ver let my-self love like that again DCEmDC(Continue) Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
[Verse 3] EmC To say the words I want to say to you would be a lie EmC By the time I get the courage, I am drunk and you are tired DC Alone in this basement where I will write these songs EmDC The things Ill never say to you again and you know why Em
[Chorus] DCEmDC Ne-ver let my-self love like that again DCEmDC Ne-ver let my-self love like that again DCEmDC Ne-ver let my-self love like that again DCEmDC Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
