[Intro]

D A Bm G

[Verse 1]

D A

I'd be riding in a cab going downtown

Finding faces I know in a big crowd

Trying to drink the pain away

D A

And I'd be staying out all night and never going home

Girl you know I'd lose all control

If I lost you

[Chorus]

There would be a riot

Breaking up my heart

I'd try to fight it

I could go out every night

But I'd be lying

If I said I could live and breathe

Without you

There'd be a lot of lonely

Wishing and praying you could hold me

I would do most anything baby if only

You would come back to me

Come back to me

There would be a riot

[Solo]

D A Bm G

[Verse 2]

D A

Waiting 'round for it to start ringing

And praying it would be you

I don't know what I'd do

[Chorus]

There would be a riot

Breaking up my heart

I'd try to fight it

I could go out every night

But I'd be lying

If I said I could live and breathe

Without you

There'd be a lot of lonely

Wishing and praying you could hold me

I would do most anything baby if only

You would come back to me

Come back to me
