D             F#m
My girl could break my heart
    Bm            F#m
And tear my soul apart, but I
          G
Couldn't see myself living in a world
    A
Without her
  D             F#m
She's a tear, she's a scream
 Bm                 F#m
Takes me high, but my worst dream
      G
Could I survive living in a world
    A
Without her

Chorus:
   G           A
My mother said open the door
   Bm
I didn't want to be that boy
G                    A           F#m
All my friends told me I'd pull through
    D                   F#m
But all that's said and all that's done
Bm                F#m
Won't persuade me that I'm wrong
    G
I know I'd die living in a world
    A
Without her

All my hopes and all my dreams rest with her,
or so it seems
I never want to see the world without her
She's a saint, she's a clown, picks me up when
I'm down
There'd be so much missing from the world
without her

Chorus:
Tangled up in falling vines
She took my hand, I know she's mine
Pickin' up the pieces of the past
I awoke before the dawn
Dreamt we'd fought and she had gone
Now I know how it feels without her

An empty club where we first met, sharing
our last cigarette
How could I have lived in a world without her?
The sweetest girl I ever had, she's the best,
she must be mad
There's no way I'm living in a world without her

Chorus:
We walked four miles to get back home
Through the crowds we walked alone
She told me all about her last stand
The sun came up and lit the scene
She looked so fine and so I see
There's no way I'm living in a world without her


There ain't no way I'm living in a world
without her
There's just no way I'm living in a world
without her
