Intro: Am Em

Am
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Em
Trying to make myself a sail
G
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
D7
With the evening on my tail
Am
Although not the most honest means of travel
Em
It gets me there nonetheless
G
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
D7
And a helpless one at best

Am
Darling I'll bathe your skin
Em
I'll even wash your clothes
G D7
Just give me some candy, before I go
Am
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
Em
And lay you down on your rug
G
Just give me some candy
D7
After my heart

Etc.

Oh I'm often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although I'm left defeated
It get's held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart

I know that there´re writings on the wall

But Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart

If your a beginner you can play Em instead of the Bm and ignore it in intro, I just like
variation.

D Dsus4 G Bm Em A

D Dsus4
When the routine bites hard
G Em A
And ambitions are low
D Dsus4
And the resentment rides high
G Bm A
But emotions wont grow
D Dsus4
And were changing our ways,
G Em A
Taking different roads
D Dsus4 G Em A
Then love, love will tear us apart again

D Dsus4
Why is the bedroom so cold
G Em A
Turned away on your side?
D Dsus4
Is my timing that flawed
G Bm A
Our respect run so dry?
D Dsus4
Yet theres still this appeal
G Em A
That weve kept through our lives
D Dsus4 G Bm Em A
Love, love will tear us apart again

D Dsus4
Do you cry out in your sleep
G Em A
All my failings expose?
D Dsus4
Get a taste in my mouth
G Bm A
As desperation takes hold
D Dsus4
Is it something so good
G Em A
Just cant function no more?
D Dsus4 G Bm Em A
When love, love will tear us apart again
