A#              Gm     D#
Love shouldn't cost a thing
          A#
Tell me why
               Gm    D#
I'm paying for everything
Pretending it's fine

Cm      D#            Gm
Heaven knows, heaven knows
          F
We're forever changing
Cm       D#            Gm
Heaven knows, heaven knows
            F
There's no way to save us

Chorus:
Gm                      D#
Look at what we have become
                           Cm
Empty hearts that spare no one
                      A#
Save yourself, my darling
         F          Gm
Just be gone by morning
                       D#
After all is said and done
                         Cm
Still this war cannot be won
                         A#
So save yourself, my darling
           F
Kill the love that's dying

I don't know where you've been
Where you hide
You're here but I feel nothing
In your eyes

Heaven knows, heaven knows
We're forever changing
Heaven knows, heaven knows
There's no way to save us

Chorus

Look at what we have become
Empty hearts that spare no one
Save yourself, my darling
Kill the love that's dying
