INTRO
Em C X2
VERSE 1
Em C
To say the things I want to say to you would be a crime
Em C
To admit Im still in love with you after all this time
D Em
Id rather let you touch my arm until you die
D C
Seduce with me with your charms until Im drunk on them
Em
Go home and drink in bed
D C
And never let myself be in love like that again
Em C
VERSE 2
Em C
Light a cigarette and think of you and walk away
Em C
Turning all the words around in my head I wont say
D C
Because all of these triangles and squares
Em
the memory we seem to share
D C
replays a distant love that plays my records on
Em
CHORUS
D C Em D C
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
D C Em D C(Continue)
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
VERSE 3
Em C
To say the words I want to say to you would be a lie
Em C
By the time I get the courage, I am drunk and you are tired
D C
Alone in this basement where I will write these songs
Em D C
The things Ill never say to you again and you know why
Em
CHORUS
D C Em D C
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
D C Em D C
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
D C Em D C
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
D C Em D C
Ne-ver let my-self love like that again
