Cm                   G#             D#
From the moment the lights went off,
                A#     Cm
Everything had changed.
                G#
Lie awake in an empty room,
       D#                    A#  Cm
In my head it all feels the same.
                       G#
Like the taste of the day you left,
          D#             A#   Cm
It still lingers on my breath.
                     G#
And the dampness of tears that left,
      D#                  A#  Cm
That stain where you had wept.
                    G#
All alone with the negligee,
            D#              A# Cm
That still hangs off of my bed.
                   G#
I keep meaning to give it away,
       D#                     A#
But I just leave it there instead.

Chorus:
Cm           A#         G#
No need to cry about it,
           D#
I can not live without it,
F#dim         Fm                   D# Cm
Every time I wind up back at your door.

Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me.
Every time I wind up back at your door.

3 more days ‘til I see your face,
I’m afraid it’s far too much.
Cook a meal and fix up the place,
Dial your number, hang it up.

If I took you for granted,
I apologize for acting tough.
You’re my reason for living,
And there’s no way I’m giving up, oh.

Chorus

    Gm7   Fm7          G#     D#
Now every evening is a bitter fight,
        Gm7         Fm7         G#    D#
And I’m eating all alone on a Friday night.
       Gm7             Fm7
And I know what your friends say,
            G#                   D#
“He’s just wasting your love and time.”
G#                                Cm
I will never let you change your mind.

Chorus:
No need to cry about it
I cannot live without it
Every time I wind up back at your door
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me
Every time I wind up back at your door

No need to cry about it
I may just die without it
Every time I wind up back at your door
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me
Every time I wind up back at your door

Every time I wind up back at your door.
Every time I wind up back at your door.
