  			C         D                    Em 
  I never thought that I would find out 
        C     D             Em 
We were  just lovers in the dark 
C              D            Em 
  You've known someone for a long time 
C                      D            Em 
  But you never really know who they are 
C                   D          Em 
It feels like it was only last week 
      C               D            Em 
I was   trippin' right into your heart 
        C    D             Em 
If we're not gonna do this honestly 
                C                  D        Em 
Baby, won't you give  me back what you took apart? 
  
        C         D           Em 
When I was on my knees in the darkness 
       C                D       Em 
Yeah, you'd be there to break my fall 
    C        D             Em 
But now, I'm lyin' here so helpless 
    C               D          Em 
But somehow, I just still want more 

                 D 
You left me with nothing 
        Em                    C 
Now I'm lyin' in the arms of a stranger 
                      D 
But why do I think of you? 
                 C 
You left me with nothing 
        Em                       C 
Now I'm lookin' in the eyes of a stranger 
                    D 
Just tryna get over you 
                              C 
Yeah, you left me with nothing 
  
           D               Em 
I chase an old love just to feel loved 
      C             D             Em 
But it gave me nothin' that was real 
C               D              Em 
No matter what I give, it's not enough 
      C                 D        Em 
But I guess I'm holdin' onto you still 

        C         D           Em 
When I was on my knees in the darkness 
       C                D       Em

But somehow, I just still want more
