Intro 
      C# B E F#    C# B E F# 




C#               B   E    F#                  G#m E 
   You come into my life      and then you go a---way 
C#                  B  E   F#                 G#m E 
   You make me feel a fool    for wanting you to stay 
F#              G#m  E 
   But I’m a bu-sy   guy 
F#                 G#m  E 
   A lot of things to   do 
F#                   G#m E 
   But there’s a reason why 
G#m               D#m7                E 
Some of them just seem to lose their flavour 



C#    B         E           F#           C#        B      E     F# 
   I feel like death warmed up, I can’t taste the coffee in my cup 
   C#      B       E       F#   C#    B   E            F# 
I feel so low I’m underground. Every time you’re not around 


F#                      G#m  E 
   And if I didn’t feel so  high 
F#                      G#m  E 
   And if I didn’t feel so  proud 
F#              G#m  E 
   Then I wouldn’t   cry 
F#                 G#m  E 
   I wouldn’t feel  so  down 

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F# 
                 When you’re not a-round 
C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F# 
                 When you’re not a-round 



C#                    B  E   F#              G#m E 
   You come and fill me up      with ecstasy and pain 
C#                B  E     F#                 G#m E 
   And then I run on empty     till I see you a---gain 
F#                     G#m  E 
   But I’ve got things to  do 
F#              G#m  E 
   And places I can go 
F#                  G#m   E 
   I guess I can’t blame you 
    G#m               D#m7              E 
If some of them just seem to feel like nowhere 



C#     B        E       F#             C#        B        E     F# 
   No, I don’t feel so great, I can’t taste the sandwich on my plate 
   C#     B        E          F#     C#    B   E             F# 
I try to sing but there’s no sound. Every time you’re not around. 


F#                      G#m  E 
   And if I didn’t feel so  high 
F#                      G#m  E 
   And if I didn’t feel so  proud 
F#              G#m  E 
   Then I wouldn’t   cry 
F#                 G#m  E 
   I wouldn’t feel  so  down 

C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F# 
                 When you’re not a-round 
C# B E F#                        C#  B    E  F# 
                 When you’re not a-round

   And if I didn’t feel so  proud
