   Emaj7 Amaj7            F#m
to say (Find the words to say)
        B                                C#m
If we tried again, we'd make the same mistakes
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

Asphyxiated (Asphyxiated)
I'll never make it (I'll never make it)
Without my baby, oh-ooh-oh
So I fill the void, I know you do the same
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh, oh

Chorus:
F#m         B           Emaj7         Amaj7
Nothing compares to the emptiness we both share
(Yeah)
F#m         B             C#m
And nobody cares like you do (Oh yeah)
F#m             B           Emaj7
You ask for my heart, but I didn't know where
    Amaj7
to start (Oh, oh no)
F#m                      B          C#m
But they don't think of you like I do
(Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, woah)

I try my best to not get high again

But I've been stuck inside
this place for days on end (La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

Intoxicated (Intoxicated)
I'll never make it (I'll never make it)
Without my baby, oh-ooh-oh
So I fill the void just like I did back then
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh, oh

Chorus:
Nothing compares (No),
to the emptiness we both share (No, no, no)
Nobody cares like you do (Like you do, ooh yeah)
You asked for my heart (Heart), but
I didn't know where to start (No, no, no, ooh)
But they won't think of you like I do (Ooh, ooh)

F#m                          B
I seen darker days, (Woah) tryna keep my faith (Oh)

I sin too much to pray for you (For you)
F#m                   B
Even when it's great, I still walk away
  C#m
I couldn't even change for you
                     F#m       B
If you're the air I need, I'm dying just to breathe
  Emaj7                      Amaj7
I hope that you're not dying too
F#m
Tryna keep my faith
   B
I sin too much to pray for you

Chorus:
Nothing compares (Nothing compares, baby)
To the emptiness we both share
(Nothing compares, baby)
Nobody cares (Nobody), like you do
(Nobody, nobody), oh yeah (Oh)
You asked for my heart (You asked for my heart)
But I didn't know where to start
(Didn't know where to start)
But they won't think of you like I do (Oh, oh)
