Played mainly with power chords on an acoustic 6 string.
Intro
B  F# B  F#
Verse 1
BAnother night here lonely as F#a tomb 
BAnother smell of that cheap dF#ime store perfume 
EThe kind that never reaF#lly washes off Bat all 
EThe kind that really only F#makes me want Bto call Eyou up agF#ain 
Verse 2
BI'm just here searching F#for a clue 
BHoping that I might find one tF#hing that's true 
EIn the wreckage maybe sF#omething I could Bsave 
EI can still taste the fF#irst sweet kiss that you Bgave mEe way back F#then 
Chorus
G#mWhy do I keep holdEing on 
G#mTo what I know is Ewrong 
G#mEverything keeps mEoving on 
EEverything but F#me and yBou 
Verse 3 
I got the truth just staring back at me 
We're everything I never wanted us to be 
Every time I try to walk away I don't 
You give me every kind of reason but I want you yes I do 
Chorus 
Why do I keep holding on 
To what I know is wrong 
Everything keeps moving on 
Everything but me and you 
Verse 4 
Baby let me tell you one thing that I know 
We should lock this down or just let it go 
But I can't seem to run away from you 
Deep in my heart I guess I always knew 
I want you 
I want you
