 Bm                            G
Warned me that you were gonna leave
 Bm                             G
Never thought you would really go
   Bm                       G
I was blind but baby now I see
 Bm                      G
Broke your heart now I know
            A             G
That I was being such a fool
       A              G
And I didn't deserve you

Chorus:
D
Don't want to fall asleep
          G
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
 Bm                     A
Don't want to cause a scene but
     G
I'm dying without your love
 D
Begging to hear your voice
 G
Tell me you love me too
            Bm              A
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
       Em                    G
If I know that I can't have you

Lookin' at the letter that you left
(The letter that you left,
will I ever get you back?)
Wondering if I'll ever get you back
Dreaming about when I'll see you next
(When will I see you next?
Will I ever get you back?)
Knowing that I never will forget
(I won't forget, I won't forget)

That I was bein' such a fool
And that I still don't deserve you

Chorus:
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
And I don't wanna cause a scene
'Cause I'm dyin' without your love (Yeah)
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me, too
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you

     Bm                  G
Well tell me what we're fighting for
                                     D
'Cause we know that the truth means so much more
                                     A A#dim
'Cause you would if you could don't lie
Bm                             G
Well I'll give everything that I've got left
                        D
To show you I mean what I have said
                    A
I know I was such a fool
                         G
But I can't live without you

Chorus:
I don't wanna fall asleep
Don't know if I'll get up
I don't wanna cause a scene
But I'm dyin' without your love
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me, too
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you (Yeah)
Don't wanna fall asleep (I don't wanna fall asleep)
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
(Don't know if I'll get up)
Don't wanna cause a scene
'Cause I'm dyin' without your love (Yeah)
I'm begging to hear your voice
(Begging to hear your voice)
Tell me you love me, too (Tell me you love me, too)
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you
