              G             C             G
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
          Em               D               C
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
    Am            Em
I'm far away from home
               Am           Em
And I've been facing this alone
             D
For much too long
                 G           C                 G
Oh, I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
              Em               D               C
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
       Am               Em
In my tangled state of mind
           Am              Em
I've been looking back to find
               D
Where I went wrong

Chorus:
 G                  C
Too much love will kill you
        Em                 D
If you can't make up your mind
 G                C
Torn between the lover
         Em               D
And the love you leave behind
       G/B           C
You're headed for disaster
          D             C#dim
'Cos you never read the signs:
 G
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
Ooh, how would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Oh, yes

Chorus:
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you every time

Yes, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life
You'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you

In the end
In the end
