Verse 1
Bm 
Em 
G 
Suddenly last summer
Em 
G 
I started going out of my head
Bm 
Em 
G 
In a tiny hotel room
Bm 
Em 
G 
Lying naked on a bed
Bm 
Em 
I knew what you were doing
G 
Bm 
And I knew what you'd done
Em 
Your life with me was ending
G 
Your new life had begun
Bm 
Em 
G 
But I was cursing your name
Bm 
Em 
G 
And I was cursing that room
Bm 
Em 
G 
And I was praying for the strength

Verse 2
Bm 
Em 
I started writing you the letter
G 
Which turned into the book
Bm 
Em 
I was gonna reach across the ocean
C 
G 
And force you to look
Bm 
Em 
G 
What kind of man was I?
Bm 
G 
Bm 
Em 
Who would sacrifice your
C 
G 
happiness to satisfy his pride?
Bm 
Em 
C 
G 
What kind of man was I?
Bm 
Em 
C 
Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny
G 
mind?

Interlude 2

Then you came back to me

Verse 3
Em 
C 
G 
And I went down on one knee
Bm 
Em 
With a glint in my eyes
G 
And a rose between my teeth
Bm 
Em 
And  I pushed out my tongue
C 
G 
For you to see
Bm 
Em 
That I'd been dying of a thirst
C 
G 
For your company
Bm 
And then you quenched
Em 
my loneliness
C 
G 
With your tears
Bm 
Em 
And our clothes fell away
C 
G 
As we rolled back the years
Bm 
Em 
C 
G 
But we couldn't deny it
Bm 
Em 
C 
G 
Because we could not admit it
Bm 
Em 
C 
G 
If our love was too strong to die
Bm 
Em 
C 
G 
Or we were just too weak to kill it
Bm 
Em 
Was our love too strong to die?
C 
G 
Bm 
Em 
Or were we just to  weak to kill it?
C 
G

Gm 
C 
swollen pride?
