Intro: G,C,G,G,D,G (x2)


Verse 1:

G C G
Our perfect love has died
D G
You know this as well as I
C G
We've tried and tried and tried
D G
Now Its time to face up to it

Verse 2:
G C G
One thing binds us still
D G
And that's a chain no-one can see
C G
To which you hold the key
D G
Here's the lock, Don't hold back

Chorus:
C
The other day I found my wedding ring
G D
I'd clean forgot that I lost that thing
G C G
The hurts here, The goods gone
D G
I don't know why you keep me on

Same as intro: G,C,G,G,D,G

Verse 3:
G C G
Desire's what made us fight
D G
All those times into the night
C G
Lord how we'd scratch and bite
D G
Now we don't even do that no more

Chorus:
C
I'm not trying to buck the blame
G D
We both must shoulder that shame
G C G
The hurts here, The goods gone
D G
I don't know why you keep me on

Same as intro: G,C,G,G,D,G (x2)

Chorus:
C
Every time, I try to picture your face
G D
Nowadays I see an empty space
C
Tell me, are you blind and deaf
G D
Just what is it that you think is left?
G C G
But hurt strong, And good gone
D G
I don't know why you keep me on
D G
I don't know why you keep me on


Same as intro: G,C,G,G,D,G (x3)
