Intro: E / F#m / B / A (-G#m-F#m-) E



      E                           F#m
These covers, may keep me warm at night
           B                                                     A   E
But they can't take your place, cause they never gonna hold me tight
           E                            F#m
And these pillows, may let me rest my head
           B                                                 A    E
But they can't say good night and tuck me in before I go to bed   

    F#m                                                        E
Say now baby girl you're better off thats what I'm telling myself
         A                                               B
But I'm lying to myself cause I know I don't want nobody else


Chorus:
                E
These lips are missing you
                       F#m
Cause these lips aint kissing you
                B
These eyes put up a fight
                     A             E            
But once again these Tears Always Win
               E        
These arms are wanting you
                      F#m
Cause these arms aint holding you
               B
These eyes put up a fight
                      A            E
But once again these Tears Always Win


        E                          F#m
These candles light up my room at night
          A                                                        B   E
But they can't light the room they way you did when you walked inside, oh baby
           E                                         F#m  
If these walls could sing about everything they've witnessed
               B                                                A         E  
Oh, it'd be a sad sad song, and it'll probably sound something like this

         A                                                B
But I'm lying to myself cause I know I don't want nobody else

                     A             E            
But once again these Tears Always Win
               E

  C#m                                             G#m (C#m-B-(A))
Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over
      A                                    G#m (C#m-B-(A))
When everything in this room reminds me of you
A                               B (C#m-B-(F#m))     
Everytime I think, I'm getting closer
       F#m                              B
Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose


Chorus:
                       E
Cause these lips are missing you
                       F#m
Cause these lips aint kissing you
               B
These eyes put up a fight
                     A             E            
But once again these Tears Always Win
               E        
These arms are wanting you
                      F#m
Cause these arms aint holding you
               B
These eyes put up a fight
                      A            E
But once again these Tears Always Win

 
            E           F#m
Crying like oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
               B 
These eyes put up a fight
                      A            E  
But once again these Tears Always Win
             E          F#m  
Crying like oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
                B  
These eyes put up a fight
                      A            E
But once again these Tears Always Win

               B
These eyes put up a fight
                      A            E
But once again these Tears Always Win
