Keep You

Capo 5th fret







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?
