During the main riff the chords are simply:
Bm, A, Bm, A  
Verse1:
BmTear in two, she lies awake
The Gmoon lights up the room like day
AnEmother night she spends alone
WithoGut his touch of skin so cold
Main Riff:
Bm, A, Bm, A  
The Bmblood is running through her veins
With Gevery beat, there's no escape
EmLost in everything she trusts
GStill can't seem to get enough
Pre-Chorus:
BmEven though the world she loves
It won't Gever be the way it was
And his Emheart of stone left hers breaking
Chorus:
GEvery Anight she cBmries
And dies a little Gmore each timeA  
Say you Bmlove me
EmNothing Dleft iGnsideEm  
Say you Bmlove meA  
And the Gsilence will Aset her fBmree
Verse 2: (repeat chord progression for V1)
Memories, they take her back
Every moment fades to black
Every kiss and every taste
She wishes time would ease the pain
Pre-Chorus: (same as last)
Even though the world she loves
It won't ever be the way it was
And her heart is weak, her hands are shaking
Chorus: (same as last)
Every night she cries
And dies a little more each time
Say you love me
Nothing left inside
Say you love me
And the silence will set her free
Bridge:
Bm, D,
A, G,                     Bm, D  
And every night she cries
BmI don't know if I'll ever make this Aright
Cause I am just so Bmbroken by the bitterness of Gloneliness
I'm so scared of this
BmI don't know if I'll ever make this Aright
Cause  I am just so Bmbroken by the bitterness of Gloneliness
And I'm so scared
Pre-Chorus: (same as before)
Even though the world she loves
It won't ever be the way it was
And his heart of stone left hers breaking
Chorus:
GEvery Anight she Bmcries
And dies a little Gmore each timeA  
Say you Bmlove me
EmNow she Dleft inGsideEm  
Say you Bmlove meA  
And the Gsilence will Aset her Bmfree
Every night she GcriesA  
BmEvery night she GcriesA  
And The Gsilence will Aset her free
