VERSE
   E MajorE             F# minorF#m
These covers, may keep me warm at night
     BB                          A augmentedA  E MajorE
But they can't take your place, cause they never gonna hold me tight
     E MajorE              F# minorF#m
And these pillows, may let me rest my head
     BB                        A augmentedA  E MajorE
But they can't say good night and tuck me in before I go to bed

   F# minorF#m                            E MajorE
Say now baby girl you're better off thats what I'm telling myself
    A augmentedA                       BB
But I'm lying to myself cause I know I don't want nobody else

CHORUS
        E MajorE
These lips are missing you
           F# minorF#m
Cause these lips aint kissing you
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win
        E MajorE
These arms are wanting you
           F# minorF#m
Cause these arms aint holding you
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win

VERSE
    E MajorE             F# minorF#m
These candles light up my room at night
     A augmentedA                            BB  E MajorE
But they can't light the room they way you did when you walked inside, oh baby
     E MajorE                    F# minorF#m
If these walls could sing about everything they've witnessed
       BB                        A augmentedA     E MajorE
Oh, it'd be a sad sad song, and it'll probably sound something like this


  F# minorF#m                           E MajorE
Say now baby girl you're better off that's what I'm telling myself
    A augmentedA                        BB
But I'm lying to myself cause I know I don't want nobody else

CHORUS
        E MajorE
These lips are missing you
            F# minorF#m
Cause these lips aint kissing you
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA       E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win
        E MajorE
These arms are wanting you
           F# minorF#m
Cause these arms aint holding you
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win

VERSE
 C# minorC#m                      G# minorG#m (C# minorC#m BB (A augmentedA))
Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over
   A augmentedA                  G# minorG#m (C# minorC#m  BB (A augmentedA))
When everything in this room reminds me of you
A augmentedA                BB (C# minorC#m  BB (F# minorF#m))
Everytime I think, I'm getting closer
   F# minorF#m               BB
Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose


CHORUS
           E MajorE
Cause these lips are missing you
           F# minorF#m
Cause these lips aint kissing you
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA       E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win
        E MajorE
These arms are wanting you
            F# minorF#m
Cause these arms aint holding you
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win

VERSE
      E MajorE      F# minorF#m
Crying like oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win
       E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Crying like oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win

        BB
These eyes put up a fight
           A augmentedA      E MajorE
But once again these Tears Always Win
