Intro: D A Bm G
D A
I'd be riding in a cab going downtown
Bm
Finding face I know in a big crowd
G
Trying to drink the pain away
D A
And I'd be staying out all night and never going home
Bm
Girl you know I'd lose all control
G
If I lost you
(Chorus)
D
There would be a riot
Breaking up my heart
A
I'd try to fight it
I could go out every night
Bm
But I'd be lying
If I said I could live and breathe
G
Without you
D
There'd be a lot of lonely
A
Wishing and praying you could hold me
Bm
I would do most anything baby if only
You would come back to me
G
Come back to me
D
There would be a riot
Follow intro after the end of Chorus
D A
I'd be checking on my phone every minute
Bm
Waiting 'round for it to start ringing
G
And praying it would be you
I don't know what I'd do
