[Verse]

G D

You tell me, that you need me

Em C

Then you go, cause you don’t know

If you need me anymore

You make this, so hard on me

Em C

And I am up, in the air, can’t decide if I care

[Pre-Chorus]

My head is spinning round and round

I’m up and then I’m down

F C D

And I don't know if I can take it anymore...

[Chorus]

If I could only dream about you

Then maybe I could live without you

But every time I close my eyes

Your memory haunts me inside

I have to let you go

This hurts me more than you will ever know

Now when I open my eyes

C G D Em C D

You won’t be there anymore

[Verse]

G D

It’s not like me, to get caught up

Em C

In a mess, but I’ll confess

That I am just a man

You left me, with nothing

Em C

Now I’m here, all alone, and your memory haunts me

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I think of you

I shake with pain, it's not the same

F C D

Help me get you out of my head

[Chorus]

If I could only dream about you

Then maybe I could live without you

But every time I close my eyes

Your memory haunts me inside

I have to let you go

This hurts me more than you will ever know

Now when I open my eyes
