VERSE:
         F#F#
They say it gets better
      F#7F#7
But it's bittersweet
        BB
You don't know how it feels
  B minorBm             F#F#
To sleep right where you used to be
      F#F#
And your smell used to linger
      F#7F#7
I need to wash my sheets
            BB
They're stained with memories
  B minorBm          F#F#
I wonder if you think of me

PRE-CHORUS:
F#F#
Forever really don't (don't)
B minorBm    F#F#
Last too long
   B minorBm      F#F#
Cause all I had to give (give)
     B minorBm
For us has not been enough

CHORUS:
   F#F#
Oh love
       E MajorE
Just left me lonely
        B minorBm
I ain't got nobody to call my own
   F#F#
Oh, love
       E MajorE
Just made my heart ache
        B minorBm
Our way is a mistake
   B minorBm     C#C#     F#F#
Oh, love only leaves you lonely

VERSE:
         F#F#          F#7F#7
I sleep with the TV on and write the saddest songs
        BB
Cigarettes and alcohol
    B minorBm      F#F#
Have become my only escape
        F#F#
I dream of my favourite child
           F#7F#7
No, I won't have to wait while
       BB
It hurts so much to smile
   B minorBm           F#F#
But even the strongest can break

PRE-CHORUS:
F#F#
Forever really don't (don't)
B minorBm    F#F#
Last too long
   B minorBm      F#F#
Cause all I had to give (give)
     B minorBm
For us has not been enough

CHORUS:
   F#F#
Oh love
       E MajorE
Just left me lonely
        B minorBm
I ain't got nobody to call my own
   F#F#
Oh, love
       E MajorE
Just made my heart ache

Our way is a mistake
   B minorBm     C#C#     F#F#
Oh, love only leaves you lonely

Bb majorBb              EbmEbm
I'm left with nothing but a twisted dream

There must be someone out there who won't abandon me
    Bb majorBb               BB    B minorBm
Cause I give so much, but all they ever do is take

I ain't got nobody to call my own
