And reEmsentment rides Dhigh,
But eBmmotions won't Agrow,
And we're Emchanging our Dways,
BmTaking different Aroads.
[Chorus]
Then Emlove, Dlove will tear us aBmpart aAgain.
EmLove, Dlove will tear us aBmpart aAgain.
[Verse]
Why is the Embedroom so Dcold?
You've turned aBmway on your Aside.
Is my Emtiming that Dflawed?
Our reBmspect runs so Adry.
Yet there's Emstill this apDpeal
That we've Bmkept through our Alives.
[Verse]
But Emlove, Dlove will tear us aBmpart aAgain.
EmLove, Dlove will tear us aBmpart aAgain.
[Verse]
You Emcry out in your Dsleep,
All my Bmfailings exAposed.
And there's a Emtaste in my Dmouth,
As despeBmration takes Ahold.
Just that Emsomething so Dgood
Just can't Bmfunction no Amore.
[Chorus]
But Emlove, Dlove will tear us aBmpart aAgain.

[Verse]

Em D

When routine bites hard,

Bm A

And ambitions are low,

Em D

And resentment rides high,

Bm A

But emotions won't grow,

Em D

And we're changing our ways,

Bm A

Taking different roads.

[Chorus]

Em D Bm A

Then love, love will tear us apart again.

Em D Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again.

[Verse]

Em D

Why is the bedroom so cold?

Bm A

You've turned away on your side.

Em D

Is my timing that flawed?

Bm A

Our respect runs so dry.

Em D

Yet there's still this appeal

Bm A

That we've kept through our lives.

[Verse]

Em D Bm A

But love, love will tear us apart again.

Em D Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again.

[Verse]

Em D

You cry out in your sleep,

Bm A

All my failings exposed.

Em D

And there's a taste in my mouth,

Bm A

As desperation takes hold.

Em D

Just that something so good

Bm A

Just can't function no more.

[Chorus]

Em D Bm A

But love, love will tear us apart again.

Em D Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again.

Em D Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again.

Em D Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again.
