Intro: C 
 
Verse 1:
 
 C                               F 
I can't seem to find the way to keep you 
      C                              G 
from running 'round in circles in my mind 
  C                                          F 
There are things that we've both done that haunt us 
  C                                  G 
There are things that we both left behind 
     Dm    Am   G 
And all I know is 
 
 
 F     C           G 
Ooooh Ooooh Don't leave me 
 Am         G 
Don't say goodbye 
 F     C       G 
Ooooh Ooooh I need you,  
 Am        G 
Need you tonight 
 
Verse 2: 
 
 C                                  F 
Morning's end up crueler than the mem'ries 
 C                                  G 
Waking up from dreams that I can't trust 
 C                          F      
Everything I see somehow reminds me 
 C                                     G 
of what my life was like when we were us 
     Dm     Am 
It's all I know 
   
Solo/bridge after 2nd chorus: 
 
Dm Am G G/B 
Dm Am G first chord of chorus 
 
 
 
 F      C           G 
Ooooh Ooooh Don't leave me 
 Am         G 
Don't say goodbye 
 F      C      G 
Ooooh Ooooh I need you,  
  Am       G      F 
Need you tonight 
  Am       G      C 
Need you tonight
