I know your name, I know your skin,

I know the way these things begin;

But I don't know how I would live with myself,

what I'd forgive of myself
Gm7 D7 Gm7 C#7 D7sus4/A D7 D7sus4/A D7 Gm7 D7
if you don't go.

if you don't go.

Corrections by Bambi Kill and Knez.
this tab is accurate for the verses, but the Choruses are just
the base chords. the chords are played variably, sometimes strummed,
sometimes arpeggioed. this version sounds pretty good on its own, but
would sound heaps better with bass accompaniment.
