Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.

 But we couldn't make us disappear.

 Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.

 So in a way, I'm glad you're still here.

 It's a bitter sweet victory.

 Lovin' the ghost in front of me.

Chorus

 What do I gotta do?

 What do I gotta do to keep you?

What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

2nd Verse:

 I wrote a couple of notes.

 One in love, one in anger.

 They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.

 Lived louder than my voice.

 Struggled through a stranger.

 He loved me until I loved you even more.

 It's a bitter sweet victory.

 knowing someone else wanted me.

Chorus

Bridge

 You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting

 Till you can't feel anything.

3rd Verse:

 You tried to explain

 but I couldn't hear it.

 As if your words were my tears.

 Flowing freely, warm and quiet.

 From the edges of my eyes and my ears.

 Then all that disappears.

Chorus

 What do I gotta do?

 What do I gotta do to keep you?

What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
