Intro
Em D x2
[Verse 1]
Em
She doesn't need him
He's left her alone
C
She's into the pills
B
And she's turned off her phone
Em
He's left her a message
To make sure she's okay
C
She doesn't care
B
For her life anyway
C
Anyhow lately
A
She's been so depressed
D Em
Keeping all of her feelings repressed
Am
He loves her
D
She loves him
Bm
But she's just far too scared to let anyone in
[Chorus]
Em
I've thrown out my life
Dm
I'll give it away
G
If you really love me
C Bm Em
Then tell me you're okay
G D
I'll be the bandage on scars that we made
C G D Em
And leave you alone as our memories fade
G D C Bm
They fade
[Interlude]
Em B Dm A
C G C B
[Verse 2]
Em
She's crying again
B
She's needing her drugs
Dm A
Soon she'll be passed out alone on her rug
C
Thinking of him
G
She thinks too good for her
C B
She never knew what he thought
She deserved
Em
Now that her phone's off
B
He's worried sick
C
He's racing to her bedroom
B
And he better get there quick
Em
She's bleeding on the floor
B
Now it's all on his hands
C
He didn't have to lose her
B
She'll never understand
C
Anyhow lately
Am
He's losing his mind
D
Crying over her
Em
When he thought he'd be fine
Am
She's flat-out depressed
D
Now he's gone unstable
B
Finally the cards
Are laid down on the table
[Chorus]
Em
I've thrown out my life
Dm
I'll give it away
G
If you really love me
C Bm Em
Then tell me you're okay
G D
I'll be the bandage on scars that we made
C G D Em
And leave you alone as our memories fade
G D C Bm
They fade
Em
[Bridge]
Em
We had it all
I gave you myself
C
You've always been hopeless
B
You were beyond help
Em
(But) I couldn't leave
This addiction was sick
C
It's only getting worse
B
But I cared too much to quit
Em
Call after call
Bm
Her tears put out the sun
C
I'm finally leaving
D
I'm finally done
[Chorus]
Em
I've thrown out my life
Dm
I'll give it away
G
If you really love me
C Bm Em
Then tell me you're okay
G D
I'll be the bandage on scars that we made
C G
And leave you alone as our memories fade
[Outro]
D
If you could just see
Em
How much I cared
There'd be no need
G
For all this despair (They fade...)
D
We called it love
C
God, were we wrong
B
I could have saved you
Em
But now you are gone
