Capo 4th Fret
EmYour arms around me come undoneC  
Makes my heart beat like a drum
See the panic in my eyes
Kiss me only when I cry
DCause you always want what you're rCunning from
And you know this is more than you can take
EmBaby don't forget my Cname
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmBaby please don't look aCway
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmOh your touch, so bittersCweet, ah ah Dah ah
EmBaby don't forget my Cname
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmYour cheek kissed softly by the Csun
Makes my heart beat like a drum
I know it hurts you, I know it burns you
Hot and cold in a lonely hotel room
Look into me, tell me why you're crying I need to know
DCause you always want what you're rCunning from
And it's always been that way, oh oh
EmBaby don't forget my Cname
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmBaby please don't look aCway
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmOh your touch, so bittersCweet, ah ah Dah ah
EmBaby don't forget my Cname
DWhen the morning breaks us
DCause you always want what you're rCunning from
EmBaby don't forget my Cname
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmBaby please don't look aCway
DWhen the morning breaks us
EmOh your touch, so bittersCweet, ah ah Dah ah
EmBaby don't forget my Cname
DWhen the morning breaks us
