[Intro] Em Am C D [Verse 1]
         Em                    Am
I'm not strong enough to stay away.

                 C             D
I can't run from you.  I just run back to you.

        Em                      Am
Like a moth I'm drawn into your flame,

            C                     D
You say my name, but it's not the same.

         C                        D
You look in my eyes, I'm stripped of my pride.

         C                       B
And my soul surrenders and you bring my heart to its knees
[Chorus]
                 Em                             Am
And it's killin' me when you're away.  I wanna leave and I wanna stay.

          C                                      D
I'm so confused, so hard to choose.  Between the pleasure and the pain

                Em
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.

           Am                                     C
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind

              B
And I'm not strong enough to stay away
[Instrumental] Em Am C D [Verse 2]
         Em                   Am             C
I'm not strong enough to stay away. What can I do?

          D                       Em                        Am
I would die without you. In your presence my heart knows no shame

           C                 B
I'm not to blame, cause you bring my heart to its knees
[Chorus]
                 Em                             Am
And it's killin' me when you're away.  I wanna leave and I wanna stay.

          C                                      D
I'm so confused, so hard to choose.  Between the pleasure and the pain

                Em
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.

           Am                                     C
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind

              B
And I'm not strong enough to stay away
[Bridge] A G
A                          G
There's nothing I can do.  My heart is chained to you

D                      B
And I can't get free. Look what this love did to me
[Chorus]
                 Em                             Am
And it's killin' me when you're away.  I wanna leave and I wanna stay.

          C                                      D
I'm so confused, so hard to choose.  Between the pleasure and the pain

                Em
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.

           Am                                     C
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind

              B
And I'm not strong enough to stay away
