[Intro] C Cadd9 Em [Verse 1]
C               Cadd9      Em
Standing at the top of the stairs

F                     C
That lead all the way down

C        Cadd9             Em
Into the dark where no one cares

F
There’s not a single light

G
Except the thought of you tonight
[Verse 2]
C      Cadd9       Em
When I got in that car

F                          C
And pointed west away from you

C           Cadd9        Em
Thinking it would not be far

F
Distant hearts can’t harmonize

G
Miles merely agonize
[Chorus]
C               G
And I, I , I, I can’t live without you

C                 G
So why, why , why should I

F
The miles I tried to run away

G
Limping down pain’s highway

C               G
And I, I , I, I can’t live without you

C                 G
So why, why , why should I

F
They tell me that time heals all

F       C    G   C
They lied
[Verse 3]
C         Cadd9        Em
I saw the hurt in your eyes

F                          C
Hurt like shards of broken glass

C           Cadd9        Em
Just ripped away all the highs

F
Couldn’t make you understand

G
My feelings spilled in my own hands
[Chorus]
C               G
And I, I , I, I can’t live without you

C                 G
So why, why , why should I

F
The miles I tried to run away

G
Limping down pain’s highway

C               G
And I, I , I, I can’t live without you

C                 G
So why, why , why should I

F
They tell me that time heals all

F       C    G   C
They lied
[Verse 4]
C          Cadd9           Em
There’s nothing more I can do

F                            C
Hurt’s like shards of broken glass

C       Cadd9  Em
If only I ever knew

F
Souls can’t find their own way

G
Made to fall in love and stay
[Chorus]
C               G
And I, I , I, I can’t live without you

C                 G
So why, why , why should I

F
The miles I tried to run away

G
Limping down pain’s highway

C               G
And I, I , I, I can’t live without you

C                 G
So why, why , why should I

F
They tell me that time heals all

F       C    G   C
