INTRO: Bm F# Bm F# (Play twice!)

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

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

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

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

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

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

BRIDGE:
Bb                            Ebm
I'm left with nothing but a twisted dream
Ab                                         C#
There must be someone out there who won't abandon me
        Bb                              B       Bm
Cause I give so much, but all they ever do is take

CHORUS:
     F#
Oh love
              E
Just left me lonely
               Bm
I ain't got nobody to call my own

Oh, love
              E
Just made my heart ache
               Bm
Our way is a mistake

Oh, love only leaves you lonely

Love just left me lonely
                     Bm B
Love just left me lonely
     Bm     C#
To call my own
      F#                 E
Oh, love just made my heart ache
                 Bm B
Our way is a mistake
      Bm                   F#7
Oh, love only leaves you lonely
