Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
  Cold as ice
  And more bitter  than a december
  Winter night
 That's how I treated  you
  And I know that I
  I sometimes tend  to lose my temper
  And I cross  the line
 Yeah that's the truth
  I know it gets hard  sometimes
  But I  could never
  Leave  your side
  No matter what  I say
  Cause if I wanted to go  I would have gone  by now
  But I  really need you near me to
 Keep my mind  off the edge
  If I wanted to leave  I would have left  by now
  But you're  the only one that knows me
 Better than I know  myself
  All along
  I tried to pretend  it didn't matter
  If I was alone
  But deep  down I know
  If you were gone
  For even a day  I wouldn't know which way to turn
 Cause I'm lost without  you
  I  know it gets  hard sometimes
  But I  could never
  Leave  your side
  No matter what  I say
  Cause if I wanted  to go I would have  gone by now
  But I  really need you near me to
 Keep my mind  off the edge
  If I wanted to leave  I would have left  by now
  But you're  the only one that knows me
 Better than I know  myself
 I get kind of dark
  Let it go too far
 I can be obnoxious at times
 But try and see my heart
 Cause I need you now
  So don't let me down
 You're the only thing in this world
 I would die without
  Cause if I wanted  to go I would have  gone by now
  But I  really need you near me to
 Keep my mind  off the edge
  If I wanted to leave  I would have left  by now
  But you're  the only one that knows me
 Better than I know  myself
  Cause if I wanted  to go I would have  gone by now
  But I  really need you near me to
 Keep my mind  off the edge
  If I wanted to leave  I would have left  by now
  But you're  the only one that knows me
 Better than I know  myself
  End on
