[Intro] C# B E F# C# B E F# [Verse 1]
C#               B   E    F#                  G#m E
   You come into my life      and then you go a---way

C#                  B  E   F#                 G#m E
   You make me feel a fool    for wanting you to stay

F#              G#m  E
   But I’m a bu-sy   guy

F#                 G#m  E
   A lot of things to   do

F#                   G#m E
   But there’s a reason why

G#m               D#m7                E
Some of them just seem to lose their flavour
[Bridge]
C#    B         E           F#           C#        B      E     F#
   I feel like death warmed up, I can’t taste the coffee in my cup

   C#      B       E       F#   C#    B   E            F#
I feel so low I’m underground. Every time you’re not around
[Chorus]
F#                      G#m  E
   And if I didn’t feel so  high

F#                      G#m  E
   And if I didn’t feel so  proud

F#              G#m  E
   Then I wouldn’t   cry

F#                 G#m  E
   I wouldn’t feel  so  down

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F#
                 When you’re not a-round

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F#
                 When you’re not a-round
[Verse 2]
C#                    B  E   F#              G#m E
   You come and fill me up      with ecstasy and pain

C#                B  E     F#                 G#m E
   And then I run on empty     till I see you a---gain

F#                     G#m  E
   But I’ve got things to  do

F#              G#m  E
   And places I can go

F#                  G#m   E
   I guess I can’t blame you

    G#m               D#m7              E
If some of them just seem to feel like nowhere
[Bridge]
C#     B        E       F#             C#        B        E     F#
   No, I don’t feel so great, I can’t taste the sandwich on my plate

   C#     B        E          F#     C#    B   E             F#
I try to sing but there’s no sound. Every time you’re not around.
[Chorus]
F#                      G#m  E
   And if I didn’t feel so  high

F#                      G#m  E
   And if I didn’t feel so  proud

F#              G#m  E
   Then I wouldn’t   cry

F#                 G#m  E
   I wouldn’t feel  so  down

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F#
                 When you’re not a-round

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F#
                 When you’re not a-round
[Instrumental] C# B E F# G#m E C# B E F# G#m E [Chorus]
F#                      G#m  E
   And if I didn’t feel so  high

F#                      G#m  E
   And if I didn’t feel so  proud

F#              G#m  E
   Then I wouldn’t   cry

F#                 G#m  E
   I wouldn’t feel  so  down

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F#
                 When you’re not a-round

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F#
                 When you’re not a-round
[Instrumental] C# B E F# C# B E F# (repeat and fade)
