1st Verse:

 [A]         [D]       [A]                [D]
We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.

     [A]            [D]         [G]
But we couldn't make us disappear.

      [A]         [D]      [A]          [D]
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.

   [A]               [D]                [G]
So in a way, I'm glad you're still here.

       [Bm]             [A]
It's a bitter sweet victory.

  [G]                    [A]          
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.





Chorus:


    [D]     [A]            [G]          [A]
Now I-------- can't laugh, can't cry.

    [D]                 [A]           [G]    [A]  
And I-------- can't run, can't hide.

  [A]              [D]
What do I gotta do?

  [A]              [D] 
What do I gotta do to keep you?

[Bm]               [A]                    [G]
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?






2nd Verse:

    [A]                [D]
I wrote a couple of notes.

         [A]            [D]
One in love, one in anger.

          [A]           [D]                    [G]
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.

         [A]            [D]  
Lived louder than my voice. 

   [A]                  [D]
Struggled through a stranger.

     [A]                [D]              [G]
He loved me until I loved you even more.

       [Bm]               [A]
It's a bitter sweet victory.

  [G]                    [A]
knowing someone else wanted me.





Chorus:


    [D]     [A]            [G]          [A]
Now I-------- can't laugh, can't cry.

    [D]                 [A]           [G]    [A]  
And I-------- can't run, can't hide.





Bridge:

         [Bm]                     [A]
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting

                 [G]
Till you can't feel anything.



3rd Verse:

      [A]         [D]         
You tried to explain 

    [A]           [D]
but I couldn't hear it.

    [A]        [D]             [G]
As if your words were my tears.

   [A]      [D]       [A]        [D]
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.

           [A]          [D]          [G]
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.

                 [A]
Then all that disappears.






Chorus:


    [D]     [A]            [G]           [A]
Now I-------- can't laugh, can't cry.

    [D]                 [A]           [G]    [A]  
And I-------- can't run, can't hide.


    [D]     [A]            [G]          [A]
Now I-------- can't laugh, can't cry.

    [D]                 [A]           [G]    [A]  
And I-------- can't run, can't hide.

  [A]              [D]
What do I gotta do?

  [A]              [D] 
What do I gotta do to keep you?

[Bm]               [A]                    [G]
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
