This is tabbed for a 24 hole Echo Celeste tremolo


Verse 1:
 6   -5  6
Cold as ice
 5  -5 6  6 -5   -5 -5  5 5 -3 4
And more bitter than a December
 6 -5    6
Winter night
  5    -5  6  -5 5   5 -5 5 -3
That's how I treated you
 4  -3   6    -5  6
And I   know that I
-3  5 -5 6    6   -5  -5  5   5 -3
 I sometimes tend to lose my temper
 4 -3   6   -5   6
And I cross the line
5 -5  -5     5   -5
Yeah that's the truth

Chorus:
5   5  5   5    7     7   6
I know it gets hard sometimes
 5  7   7   -4 5
But I could never
  7    7    6
Leave your side
6  -6  6   -6  6  5
No matter what I say
   7   7  7  7 7   7  8
'Cause if I wanted to go
8   8    7    -8  8   8   7
I would have gone by now but
7  8  8    8  -9   -8  8
I really need you near me
7   8   8   -8  -8  -8  -8 -7
To keep my mind off the edge
7  7  7 7   7   8
If I wanted to leave
8   8 7     -8  8   8
I would've left by now
 7    7     8  8 8   8   -9   -8   8
But you're the only one that knows me
 7  7   7   7  -8   8 -9
Better than I know myself

Verse 2:
All along
I tried to pretend it didn't matter
If I was alone
Deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
'Cause I'm lost without you


(Chorus)

6  6   6   -5  6
I get kind of dark
 6  6  6  -5   6
Let it go too far
6  6  6  6  6  -5  -5   5
I can be obnoxious at times
 4   6   6   6  -5   6
But try and see my heart
   6   6   6  -5   6
'Cause I need you now
6   6     6  -5 -6 6 -5
So don't let me down
  6     6  6  6   6   -5  -5    5
You’re the only thing in this world
6   6    6  -5  6
I would die without


   7   7  7  7 7   7  8
'Cause if I wanted to go
8   8    7    -8  8   8   7
I would have gone by now but
7  8  8    8  -9   -8  8
I really need you near me
7   8   8   -8  -8  -8  -8 -7
To keep my mind off the edge
7  7  7 7   7   8
If I wanted to leave
8   8 7     -8  8   8
I would've left by now
 7    7     8  8 8   8   -9   -8   8
But you're the only one that knows me
 7  7   7   7  -8   8 -9
Better than I know myself

   7   7  7  7 7   7  8
'Cause if I wanted to go
8   8    7    -8  8   8   7
I would have gone by now but
7  8  8    8  -9   -8  8
I really need you near me
7   8   8   -8  -8  -8  -8 -7
To keep my mind off the edge
7  7  7 7   7   8
If I wanted to leave
8   8 7     -8  8   8
I would've left by now
 7    7     8  8 8   8   -9   -8   8
But you're the only one that knows me
 7  7   7   7  -8   8 -9
Better than I know myself
