Do you cry out in your sleep

All my failings exposed

Get a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold
Em Dsus4
Is it something so good
Bm A
Just can't function no more

just like

Key:Em
Capo:no capo
* Some ideas for variations: replacing the D A sequence by G6/D (xx0000) A
sounds good and is easier.
You can alternate A and Asus2 (x02200) and even add some Asus4 (x02230). Bsus2
(x24422) can add some
interesting colors: I like to play Bm Bsus2 Bm G6/D A Asus2 A. You can also
use some Em7 and A7.

[Just Keep Repeating]
Thats almost pretty much the whole song.
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good, just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Capo:no capo
The rhythm is
2/4 (I
think) so play it freely. This version also includes some of the great bass
riffs, when
playing the guitar. Sounds best when played on a 12-string guitar,
though.
