Em 	              G          
She fills my bed with gasoline,  
D                      C     
you think I would've noticed 
Em 	                                       
Her mind's made up, 
            G      D                         C              Em
the love is gone I think someone's trying to show us a sign 
 
 	                         G                     
That even if we thought it could last, 
D          C 
the moment would pass 
 
Em 	                 G               D                  C 
My bones will break and my heart will give,  
            C 
oh it hurts to live 


Em               G                            D 
I remember the day, when you left for santa monica,  
 
Csus2                              	                   
You left me to remain with all your excuses for  
Em 
everything 

                  G                            D  
I remember the time, when you left for Santa Monica 
 
                         Csus2           
I remember the day you told me it's over. 
Em            G
it hurt to breath 
                         D    C       Em
every time that your not hear next to me 
 
her minds made up 
            G
the girl is gone 
            D         C
and now i'm forced to see 
 
i think i'm on my way oh it hurts to lift and bleed 
 
she said don't you wish you were dead like me 
 
i wanted more than this i needed more than this 
 
have some more than this but it just wont stop 
 
just wont go away  
 
i wanted more than this i neede more than this 
 
have some more of this it just wont stop 
 
just wont go away  
 
and i remember the day when you left for santa monica 
 
you left me to remain with all your excuses  
 
for everything 
 
and i remember a time when you left it all behind 
 
i remember the day you told me it's over
