I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
+2   +3   -3  -3  
Ill tell you that
+3  -3 +4 -3 +4  -3  +3
But if I  didn't say it
-3     +4   -3   +4   -3  +3    
Well, I'd still have felt it
+3      -3   -3   +4  +4
Where's the sense in that?
-3-3  -3  -3  -3  -3 -3  -3  -4   +4   -3  -3 +4  
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
-3 -3  -3 -3   +3  -3  -3
Or return to where we were

+6  +4  +4  +4  +4   -4   +5   +4
Well I will go down with this ship
-4 -4  +5   -5  +5   -4  +4 +4  +3 +3 -3  
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
+5    +5   -4 +4  +4    +4  +4 -4 +5 (+4+3)
There will be no white flag above my  door
-3  +4 (-4-3) -3  -3 +4  -4   -3  
I'm in  love  and always will be

+4 -3  +4 -3   +3 -3    +4   
I know I left too much mess
-3  +4  -3   +3 +2   +3  -3  -3 -3
And destruction to come back again
-3 -3   -3   +4  -3  +4  -3  +3
And I causeD nothing but trouble
-3 +4 -3 +4   -3  +3  +2   +3   -3 -3 +4 +4 
I  understand if you can't talk to me again
-3  -3 -3   -3  -3 -3   -4   +4  -3   -3+4
And if you live by the rules of "It's over"
-3    -3  -3   -3   +3   -3    -3  
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

+6  +4  +4  +4  +4   -4   +5   +4
Well I will go down with this ship
-4 -4  +5   -5  +5   -4  +4 +4  +3 +3 -3  
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
+5    +5   -4 +4  +4    +4  +4 -4 +5 (+4+3)
There will be no white flag above my  door
-3  +4 (-4-3) -3  -3 +4  -4   -3  
I'm in  love  and always will be

+5   +5  -4 (+4+3)
And when we  meet
+4    +4   -3  +3  +2
Which I'm sure we will
+5   +5  -4  (-4-3)    
all that was  then
+4   -3  +3    +2
Will be there still
+5   +5  -4 (-4-3)
I'll let it  pass
+4   -3  +4 (-4-3)
And hold my tongue
+5  +5   -4   -4
And you will think
+5    +5   -4   -4
That I've moved on

+5 +5  +5  +5   -4   +4 (+4+3)
I will go down with this ship
-4 -4  +5   -5  +5   -4  +4 +4  +3 +3 -3  
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
+5    +5   -4 +4  +4    +4  +4 -4 +5 (+4+3)
There will be no white flag above my  door
-3  +4 (-4-3) -3  -3 +4  -4   -3  
I'm in  love  and always will be
