Rihanna - Unfaithful

kudos to Garymow1, whose tab is the most accurate I have found, it saved me a good
deal of time in lifting the song from the recording).

The Song:


Intro
        Cm      Dø7/C   Cm      Dø7/C   Ab      Ab6     Abmaj7  G7sus


Verse 1
        Cm                Dø7/C                    Cm                    Dø7/C
        Story of my life, searching for the right, but it keeps avoiding me.

        Ab                  Ab6                     Abmaj7               G7sus
        Sorrow in my soul because it seems like one really loves my company.

        Cm                       Dø7/C                       Cm                     Dø7/C
        He's more than a man and this is more than love, the reason that the sky is blue.

            Ab                      Ab6                       Abmaj7                 G7sus
        The clouds are rolling in because I'm gone again, and to him I just can't be true.



Pre-Chorus
                        Ab             Bb               Cm          Bb
        And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful, and it kills him inside

           Ebsus          Ab         Bb          Ab(add9)       N.C.
        To know that I am happy with some other guy;            I can see him dying.


Chorus
        Cm            Ab              Fm             Bb            Cm
        I don't wanna do this anymore, I don't wanna be the reason why;

                    Ab               Bb               Fm            Cm
        Everytime I walk out the door I see him die a little more inside.

                      Ab               Fm             Bb            Ab
        I don't wanna hurt him anymore, I don't wanna take away his life:

                      Bb
        I don't wanna be a murderer.



Verse 2
          Cm                    Dø7/C                 Cm                 Dø7/C
        I feel it in the air as I'm doing my hair, preparing for another date.

          Ab                    Ab6                 Abmaj7             G7sus
        A kiss upon my cheek as he reluctantly asks if I'm gonna be out late.

          Cm                        Dø7/C                     Cm                   Dø7/C
        I say I won't be long, just hanging with the girls; a lie I didn't have to tell.

           Ab                      Ab6              Abmaj7              G7sus
        Because we both know where I'm about to go, and we know it very well.



Pre-Chorus
                           Ab             Bb               Cm          Bb
        'Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful, and it kills him inside

           Ebsus           Ab        Bb         Ab(add9)        N.C.
        To know that I am happy with some other guy;            I can see him dying.


Chorus
        Cm            Ab              Fm             Bb            Cm
        I don't wanna do this anymore, I don't wanna be the reason why;

                    Ab               Bb               Fm            Cm
        Everytime I walk out the door I see him die a little more inside.

                      Ab               Fm             Bb            Ab
        I don't wanna hurt him anymore, I don't wanna take away his life:

                      Bb
        I don't wanna be a murderer.


Bridge
        Ab       Bb         Cm                    Bb    Eb
        Our love, his trust, I might as well just take a gun and

        Ab             Bb                     Ab
        Put it too his head; get it over with.  I don't wanna do this


Interlude
        Cm      Dø7/C   Cm      Dø7/C   Ab      Ab6     Abmaj7  G7sus
            Anymore,    oh,                             anymore.


Chorus
        Cm            Ab              Fm             Bb            Cm
        I don't wanna do this anymore, I don't wanna be the reason why;

                    Ab               Bb               Fm            Cm
        Everytime I walk out the door I see him die a little more inside.

                      Ab               Fm             Bb            Ab
        I don't wanna hurt him anymore, I don't wanna take away his life:

                      Bb
        I don't wanna be a murderer.
