	        Intro Dm C G (4x) 

Em                      Am 
I was young and I was a victim of her killer smile 
F                             C 
Her love was cheap and it was great for a little while 
Em                         Am 
I had to leave but she wanted me stay  
F                               C 
And she ripped up my shirt and left the marks of her disdain 

(Repeat Intro 3x) 

I couldn't take it no more 
I couldn't spend another night alone 
I couldn't take it no more 

                          F 
If this is where we ended up 
G                      C                     F 
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time 
                Dm 
If everything I have is gone 
E            E7 
Then what is wrong 
Am          C/B        A7     (A7) (See Note) 
In spending time with you 
F (8th fret) 
I'll keep you warm 
Em (7th fret) 
You'll hold me tight

This might be our only night 

(Intro 4x) 
I can't give up 

(repeat verse) 
I tried to reconcile 
But it never made a difference 
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife 
It was so tense and cold 
And every time I tried to get little closer to you 
You got further and further away from me 
Until you faded into the distance 
Yes you did 
There was nothing I could do 

(repeat Chorus) 
If this is where we ended up 
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time 
If everything I have is gone 
Then what is wrong 
In spending time with you 
I'll keep you warm 
When you hold me tight 
Coz this might be our only night 
This might be the only night 
I can't spend another night alone 
If this is where we ended up 
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time 
If everything I have is gone 
Then what is wrong 
In spending time with you 

If this is where we ended up 
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time 
If everything I have is gone 
Then what is wrong 
In spending time with you 
F (8th fret)       Em (7th fret) 
Keep me warm and I hold you tight
