A#                       Dm
It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold,
      D#                  F
Cold night tonight and I can't get you off
       A#  Dm                 D#  F
of my mind   God knows I've tried
A#                    Dm                 D#
Did I throw away the best part of my life
                   F                           Gm         F
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife
D#                    F          D#                 F
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain
 D/F#         Gm         D#              F
Don't say my name, run away, 'cause it's all in vain.

Chorus:
    D              A                 Bm        G    D
My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
        Bm           G           A       D
Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died
             A                  Bm                 G       D
Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say goodbye
          Bm              G              A       D    Bm G  A
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But, nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away, before it's too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains, we remain
No one left to blame

Chorus

A#                           F
Go on, get on with your life, yeah I'll get on with mine
Gm                               D#
Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's a perfect crime
A#                                                     F
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning, I'm burning alive,
Gm                        A
I'm paying the price again, but I'll see the light again

Chorus
