Shoulda' listened to someone
Esus4                           E
Love has gone, I got nowhere to run
E                      Esus4 E
I shoulda' listened to someone
Esus4                           E
Love has gone, I got nowhere to run

Dsus4            D
She's gone and I know
Dsus4                        D
That the pain's beginnin' to show
             A (w/Riff 1)
I'm hurting inside

Dsus4           D
My world fell apart
Dsus4                          D
But love's still burning in my heart
                A (w/Riff 1)
But where can I hide

Gsus4           G
Love turned to stone
Gsus4                    G
And I'm tired of bein' alone
     Dsus4 D                A (w/Riff 1)
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil
     Dsus4 D                A (w/intro) (after the *)
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil

Dsus4                 D
There's a voice in my head
Dsus4                       D
Runnin' over everything she said
               A (w/Riff 1)
And I can't erase it

Dsus4        D
Love was a game
Dsus4                         D
Well I lost and it's a cryin' shame
               A (w/Riff 1)
But I gotta face it

Gsus4       G
Nowhere to go
Gsus4             G
And time is moving slow

     Dsus4 D              A (w/Riff 1)
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil
     Dsus4 D      C
Yea, burnin'...

A
Burnin' the midnight oil
D
Hot water getting ready to boil
A
Drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired
D
I'm so high, think I'll never be tired
A (w/Riff 2)
Feeling sad and I'm mad,
E (w/Riff 3)
All the bad luck that I've had

Dsus4                       D
Memories runnin' through my head
             A (w/Riff 1)
I tried to forget

The clock's striking twelve

I'm still trying to convince myself

Love turned to stone
Gsus4                  G
And I'm tired of bein' alone
