[Intro]
(F)  | (C) (G/B) | (F)  | (C) (G/B) | (F)
Pain is growing Clike a vine G/Bstranglin' my Fheart
When I think the worst is Cover G/Bthat's right when it startsF  
Someone Amsays your name, sometimes I Fdon't feel a thing
But then there's Amdays like today, Fwhoa, that are suffocatin'
[Chorus]
CWhen I think it's dead and Ggone, then it starts to Amrain
Oh, and it Fgrows againG  
CI find myself out in your Gdriveway
My hands are frozen Amon the wheel and I can feel Fyour love still suffocatin'
Inst.:   
 (F)  | (C) (G/B) | (F)
The memory of what Cused to be Gcuts me like a thornF  
Loneliness starts Crollin' in like Gthunder from a stormF  
My strength Amstarts to sway, I feel the Fwinds of change
It's such a Amparalyzing place, Foh, and it's suffocatin'
[Chorus]
CWhen I think it's dead and Ggone, then it starts to Amrain
Oh, and it Fgrows againG  
CI find myself out in your Gdriveway
My hands are frozen Amon the wheel and I can feel Fyour love still suffocat- Amin'
Let the rain wash it all away, Fcan't you love me another day?
AmOh, I curse myself, 'cause Fnothin's changed, Gnothin's changed
[Chorus]
CWhen I think it's dead and G/Bgone, then it starts to Amrain
Oh, and it Fgrows againG  
CI find myself out in your Gdriveway
My hands are frozen Amon the wheel and I can feel Fyour love still?c suffocatin'
