VERSE:
Eb         Gm
  I`m worn out
             F
I hate this town
                F
We built this house,
             Eb
You tore it down

              Gm
My heart and soul
              F
My flesh and bone
           F            Eb
It was the only home I know


PRE-CHORUS:
              Gm
It`s sun and dust
             F
Not much to see
             F
But broken trust
               Eb
That sticks to me

            Gm
Now you`re here
                F
Can`t you disappear?
             F               Bb
`Cause it`s more than I can bear


CHORUS:
          Cm               Gm
Oh, don`t ask me how I`ve been
          Eb             Bb
I`m this close to giving in
          Cm               Gm
Oh, don`t ask me how I`ve been
     Eb   N.C.
I`m this close to giving in


POST-CHORUS:
Bb           Cm             Gm
  I`m giving in, I`m giving in, I`m giving in
  Eb                Bb
I let you love me again
           Cm             Gm
I`m giving in, I`m giving in, I`m giving in
  Eb                Bb
I let you love me again


VERSE:
Eb            Gm
  You pull me in
              F
It`s sink or swim
        F               Eb
And I drowned in everything

                 Gm
No matter what I do
                 F
You still get through
         F             Bb
My only sin is letting you


CHORUS:
          Cm               Gm
Oh, don`t ask me how I`ve been
     Eb                  Bb
I`m this close to giving in
      Cm               Gm
Don`t ask me how I`ve been
     Eb   N.C.
I`m this close to giving in


POST-CHORUS:
Bb           Cm             Gm
  I`m giving in, I`m giving in, I`m giving in
  Eb                Bb
I let you love me again
           Cm             Gm
I`m giving in, I`m giving in, I`m giving in
  Eb                Bb
I let you love me again

   Bb                Cm                    Gm                Eb
