Verse 
Fm 
Sleepless in the night 
                 Bbm 
I try to lose my faith in you 
 
Saying to myself 
     Eb                         Ab  Bbm/G  C  Fm 
"You can't be the right one for me" 
 
Fm 
And now that you are gone 
                  Bbm 
I finally get a taste of freedom 
 
Only problem is: 
   Eb                      Csus4  C 
I don't really want to be free 
 
 
Fm                     Bbm7 
I don't wanna be abandoned 
Eb                          Ab  Ab7 
I don't want to curse your name 
Db                          G 
I don't wanna feel the sadness 
C                              Fmadd9 Fm  Csus4/G C/G 
Pretending that I'm still the same 
F/A                           Bbm  BbmM7  Bbm7 
I don't want to burn your letters 
Eb                          Ab  C 
I don't want to face the truth 
Fm                     Bbm 
I don't wanna be abandoned 
Caug             C        Fm  Bbm  Fm  C 
I don't wanna waste my youth 
 
Verse 
Ddim7 
You tried to suffocate with your pretence 
Bbm 
And I believed in this shallow romance 
Eb 
I ran for cover but I couldn't hide 
      Csus4                     C 
And still you tried to get me to abide 
Ddim7 
You scratched me like a perfume ad 
Bbm 
Erasing all the feelings that I had 
Eb 
And all the time you faked this loneliness 
       Csus4                     C 
Cause you wouldn't see my twisted mess 
 
 
Fm                     Bbm

Eb                          Ab  Ab7 
I don't want to curse your name

I don't wanna feel the sadness 
C                              Fmadd9 Fm  Csus4/G C/G 
Pretending that I'm still the same 
F/A                           Bbm  BbmM7  Bbm7 
I don't want to burn your letters 
Eb                          Ab  C 
I don't want to face the truth 
Fm                     Bbm 
I don't wanna be abandoned 
Caug             C        Fm  Bbm  Fm  C  Fm 
I don't wanna waste my youth
