Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  got eyes in the back  of my head and I
 see where you're going  with this (going with this)
I'm  not surprised
you  take me for a fool,  maybe you're right
 if I was wiser  I would not have let myself  come here tonight
you  sold yourself,  you never learn
and  here I am  watching the summer  we shared fade away  with the winter
hands  were warm on  my face
now  they're cold,  pushing away
 they're colder  than ice and they are slowly  pushing me away
 pushing me away...
I  knew it (I knew  it)
 right from the start
 I've got this big,  big hole in my heart
 I wanted (I wanted)
 to put you in
 but for some reason  you just wouldn't fit
......you  just wouldn't fit
you  sold yourself,  you never learn
and  here I am  watching the summer  we shared fade away  with the winter
hands  were warm on  my face
now  they're cold,  pushing away
 they're colder  than ice and they are slowly  pushing me away
 pushing me away
 pushing me away
lust  can give a man so many regrets
just  this once is what  we  tell ourselves
ships  don't sink if they have wind  in their sails
 but if  the wind fails is there hope  for me?
 I thought your  love was as safe as the  promise you made
 now I am drowning in  your shallow sea  I swear
 you are the waves  that toss  me away
 how can I float  above  the water that fills  my lungs
 killing me softly  without  a word?
