Bb A
*VERSE*
ALL THE VERSES ARE THE SAME AS THE INTRO.
Bb
His body loved her
A
His mind was set on other things
Bb
Keep your face out of sight
A
And your thoughts to yourself
*BRIDGE*
Am
And this went on for several nights
Ab
Festering in silence
Gm
Growing in the dark
*CHORUS*
Am
And this they saw as love
G
Looooovvvvvvveeeeeee
F#
So sad to see
Fmaj7
They suffocate at night
Am
Oh this thay saw as love
G
Loooooovvvvvveeeeeee
F#
So sad to see
Fmaj7
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
She met his wishes
He found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
And the bedroom too warm
*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE
The days are full of things to do
Night time lives so hollow
And memories betrayed
*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
Two years have passed
Two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above
Show just how far I went wrong
*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE
I wonder if she’s living there
The way that I recall
The way I’ll always think of you
*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE
When I think of you
I think of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
No, I don’t need her
I need her
ohhhhhh
etc.
