Tom: Bm
C#m A
The daring of despair has led me back to my old home
C#m A
Paralyzed by patterns, squeezing blood out of a stone
C#m Bm
You're sitting there before me, but I'm haunted by your ghost
Bm Cm
Cast up by the tempest here on some deserted shore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em E
I wish you loved me more, enough to stay when morning comes
Em F#
All the damage, all the way, I wish it all were done
[Chorus]
Bm F#
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Em
No matter what I do or how hard I might try
F#
I can't let go, so still I cry
Bm F#
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Bm
No matter what I do
Bm
[Verse 2]
C#m A
The butterfly flies to the light, but I head for the mire
C#m A
Captivated by your cruelty, tortured by desire
C#m Bm
We're only bones and bruises now, sadistic, base and vile
Bm Cm
You bring out all the worst in me, you make me like a child
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em E
We're toxic but it feels so good, I'm crying through a smile
Em F#
We're gutting all the ones we love, but doing it in style
[Chorus]
Bm F#
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Em
No matter what I do or how hard I might cry
F#
I can't let go, so still I try
Bm F#
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Bm
No matter what I do
[Bridge]
G Bm
Unending echoes in a resonating shell
Em
We have created our own hell
F#
All steeped in lies
G Bm
We dream too much to try and sleep
Em
This is the tyranny of weakness
F#
We could leave, but we won't try
[Chorus]
Bm F#
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Em
No matter what I do or how hard I might cry
F#
I can't let go, I die inside
Bm F#
'Cause I just can't stop loving you
Bm
No matter what I do
