[Verse 1] [G#m] I took a page out of your favorite book [E] You sold me lies just by the way you look [F#] Taught me a language that I've never speak Baby, [D#] that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me [G#m] I dug my grave watchin' the way you move [E] You took me higher than I ever flew, ooh [F#] Too many times, gave you a second chance Baby, [D#] I'm just a man, I'm, I'm just a man
[Pre-Chorus] [G#m] No more thinkin' about you late night [E] No more runnin' around with your friends [F#] now Done pickin' up pieces of my [D#] Soul up off the floor, oh, oh
[Chorus] [G#m] I said I would die for you, baby [E] But I can't take this pain no [F#] more I thought I was willin' ………………. But to [D#] night I saved my life when I showed you the door [G#m] I don't wanna lose you, baby [E] But I can't play this gamе no [F#] more I thought it would kill me But to [D#] night I saved my lifе when I showed you the [G#m] door
[Verse 2 - Drums stop] [G#m] You never thought this day would ever come (drums back in) [E] But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the rug [F#] You tried to take away my sanity Baby, [D#] that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
[Pre-Chorus] Oh [G#m] No more thinkin' about you late night [E] No more runnin' around with your friends [F#] now Done pickin' up pieces of my [D#] Soul up off the floor, oh, oh
[Chorus] [G#m] I said I would die for you, baby [E] But I can't take this pain no [F#] more I thought I was willin' ………………. But to [D#] night I saved my life when I showed you the door [G#m] I don't wanna lose you, baby [E] But I can't play this gamе no [F#] more I thought it would kill me But to [D#] night I saved my lifе when I showed you the [G#m] door
[Post-Chorus] [G#m] When I showed you the door [E] ............ When I showed you the door [F#] ................ But to [D#] night I saved my life
[Chorus - No drums, no guitar - just bass] [G#m] I said I would die for you, baby [E] But I can't take this pain no [F#] more I thought I was willin' ………………. But to [D#] night I saved my life when I showed you the door (drums back in)
