Tom: Am

    Am
She doesn't need him

He's left her alone
      F
She's into the pills
           E
And she's turned off her phone
      Am
He's left her a message

To make sure she's okay
 F
She doesn't care
         E
For her life anyway


F
Anyhow lately
       D
She's been so depressed
G                      Am
   Keeping all of her feelings repressed
Dm
He loves her
G
She loves him
          Em
But she's just far too scared to let anyone in


[Chorus]
   Am
I've thrown out my life
     Gm
I'll give it away
   C
If you really love me
     F       Em         Am
Then tell me you're okay
            C                         G
I'll be the bandage on scars that we made
               F                     C      G      Am
And leave you alone as our memories fade
      C    G    F    Em
They fade

[Verse 2]
      Am
She's crying again
      E
She's needing her drugs
Gm                         D
Soon she'll be passed out alone on her rug
F
Thinking of him
           C
She thinks too good for her
F                           E
She never knew what he thought

She deserved


Am
Now that her phone's off
E
He's worried sick
     F
He's racing to her bedroom
       E
And he better get there quick
      Am
She's bleeding on the floor
        E
Now it's all on his hands
    F
He didn't have to lose her
        E
She'll never understand


F
Anyhow lately
       Dm
He's losing his mind
G
Crying over her
         Am
When he thought he'd be fine
      Dm
She's flat-out depressed
    G
Now he's gone unstable
E
Finally the cards

Are laid down on the table


[Chorus]
   Am
I've thrown out my life
     Gm
I'll give it away
   C
If you really love me
     F       Em         Am
Then tell me you're okay
            C                         G
I'll be the bandage on scars that we made
               F                     C      G      Am
And leave you alone as our memories fade
      C    G    F    Em
They fade

Am


[Bridge]
Am
We had it all

I gave you myself
       F
You've always been hopeless
     E
You were beyond help
      Am
(But) I couldn't leave

This addiction was sick
      F
It's only getting worse
       E
But I cared too much to quit
Am
Call after call
    Em
Her tears put out the sun
     F
I'm finally leaving
     G
I'm finally done


[Chorus]
   Am
I've thrown out my life
     Gm
I'll give it away
   C
If you really love me
     F       Em         Am
Then tell me you're okay
            C                         G
I'll be the bandage on scars that we made
               F                     C
And leave you alone as our memories fade


[Outro]
                   G
If you could just see
            Am
How much I cared

There'd be no need
                    C
For all this despair (They fade...)
              G
We called it love
               F
God, were we wrong
                E
I could have saved you
                  Am
But now you are gone
