PLEASE NOTE: This is the first time ever I have tabbed a song
so if it sounds out… I’m sorry! 8) I’m only 16.
Also… I didn’t take into account the timing for the tabs.
You will have to listen to the song to get the timing correct.
h-hammer on

Tabbed by Daniel Lu.

What about the life that you were dreaming of
What about the picture in my head
What about the love that we were fighting for
Is it still somewhere alive or is it dead

How could we ever go so wrong
I always thought that we were strong

But if you leave my world tomorrow
And if you leave me cold tonight
(If you’re gonna leave me cold tonight)
(Do you really wanna see me cry)
I’m gonna live my life in sorrow
And you’ll forever see me cry
F#m Em…A
(If you’re gonna leave me cold tonight)

What about the home that we were building up
What about the colours in our hearts
What about the kids we should be playing with
Should we leave this fantasy into the dark

You are as shining as the sun
You are the place where I belong

(repeat )

Do you share the pain inside
Do you know how much it bites
Do you mind to watch me fall
A N.C
Do you care for me at all

(repeat )

Chords worked out by Baxter Massey
song dedicated to my ex-girlfriend Susse Hansen

He gives you gold and he’ll promise you
the whole world will be yours
I just can tell you I love you so
even though my odds are low

Chorus
I’m not an actor I’m not a star
And I don’t even have my own car
but I’m hoping so much you’ll stay
That you will love me anyway

Verse 2
The dirty games and the neonshows
this is the world that he knows
Watching the stars satsi- fies my soul
Thinking of him makes me feel so cold

The fancy cars and the restaurants
You’re just so fond of the man
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
Can’t you see he’s got dirt on his mind

Chorus
I’m not an actor I’m not a star
and I don’t even have my own car
but I’m hoping so much you’ll stay
That you will love me anyway

VERSE 1:
___Don’t know what to say now, ___I don’t know where to start
_____I don’t know how to handle my complicated heart
You tell me you are leaving __but I just have to say
____Before you throw it all away_____
 
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you’re coming home
If you need someone to ease the pain, you can lean on me
My love will still remain_____
 
 
VERSE 2:
_______Don’t know what you’re thinkin’
______To me it seems quite tough
______To hold the conversation
When words are not enough
You tell me you are leaving __but I just have to say
____Before you throw it all away_____
 
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you’re coming home
If you need someone to ease the pain, you can lean on me
My love will still remain_____
 
___ If this is your decision and there’s ____nothing I can do
_____I can only say to you_____
 
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you’re coming home
If you need someone to ease the pain, you can lean on me
My love will still remain_____

1. Don’t know what to say now
Don’t know where to start
Don’t know how to handle
A complicated heart

You tell me you are leaving
But I just have to say
Before you throw it all a- way

Chorus: Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you'-re comin’ home
If you need someone to ease the pain
You can lean on me, my love will still re- main

2. Don’t know what you’re thinkin’
To me it seems quite tough
To all the conversation
When words are not e- nough

If this is your decision
And there’s nothing I can do, oh yeah
I can only say to you
