LIFE WITHOUT YOU

But I Dmwouldn't want a life Gwithout youAm  C/G  
No I wDmouldn't want a life Gwithout you
{chords are the same as verse 1}
Everytime you go away
There are some rules I do obey
If you had to watch me scream and cry
You'd feel the need I'm living by
A fragment of the pain that the world has put me through
     But I Dmwouldn't want a life Gwithout youAm  C/G  
     No I Dmwouldn't want a life Gwithout you
SOLO
If you had to watch me scream and cry
You'd feel the need I'm living by
A fragment of the pain that the world has put me through
     But I wouldn't want a life without you
     No I wouldn't want a life without you
