 Ohhh... 

Em 

Em                  G                     Am 
 Headlights flashing, cold eyes, know your... 
                          Em 
 bullets fly through the night 
Em                   G                        Am 
 Broken doors falling, and hotel floors, I was...  
                     Em 
 never yours, never mine 

                 Em         G 
 All I said was "Hello, hello" 
                               Am               Em 
 You just stood and watched me cry to pass the time 
                     Em         G 
 And all I said was "Hello, hello" 
                         Am                   Em 
 Tell me how to say "goodbye," cause it's goodbye 


              C 
 I can't stay on my knees 
              G 
 Give me some mercy, please 
         Am            Em 
 It's alright, let it die 
          C 
 I wanted everything 
                G 
 More than your love could give 
         Am            Em 
 It's alright, let it die 


Em                  G                      A; 
 See change whispers in the waves, watch my... 
                         Em 
 sorrows drown peacefully 
Em                  G                    Am 
 And empires crumble to the shores, I was...  
                     Em 
 never yours, never mine 


                 Em         G 
 All I said was "Hello, hello" 
                               Am               Em 
 You just stood and watched me cry to pass the time 
                     Em         G 
 And all I said was "Hello, hello" 
                         Am                   Em 
 Tell me how to say "goodbye," cause it's goodbye 


              C 
 I can't stay on my knees

 Give me some mercy, please

 It's alright, let it die

 I wanted everything 
                G
