[Intro]
| F#   | F#   | D#m  | D#m  |
 
[Verse 1]
F#
I guess I thought you'd be here forever
D#m
    Another illusion I chose to create
    B                         A#m7     D#m
You don't know what you got until it's gone
      G#m                F#  E
And I found out a little too late
 
F#m7 E/G# A
I    was  actin' as if you were lucky to have me
F#m                                            D
    Doin' you a favor (I hardly knew you were there)
                                              Then you were gone
       C#m7    F#m
And it all was wrong
    Bm7              A  G    Am7 G/B
Had no idea how much I cared
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                         G/B
Now bein' without you takes a lot of getting used to
Fadd9
      Should learn to live with it
Dm7b5/Ab
         But I don't want to
C                    Em7
Bein' without you is all a big mistake
   Fadd9
Instead of getting any easier,
         Dm7b5/Ab
It's the hardest thing to take
      F/G       G
I'm addicted to you, babe
         Ab   Bb/D      C
You're a hard habit to break
 
 
[Verse 2]
    F#
You found someone else, you had every reason
D#m
    You know I can't blame you for running to him
    B                    A#m7     D#m
Two people together, but living alone
      G#m               F#  E
I was spreading my love too thin
 
F#m7 E/G# A
Af - ter  all of these years, I'm still trying to shake it
F#m                                                 D
    Doin' much better (they say that it just takes time)
                                                   Deep in the night,
        C#m7    F#m7
it's an endless fight
  Bm7                  A  G     Am7 G/B
I can't get you out of my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                         G/B
Now bein' without you takes a lot of getting used to
Fadd9
      Should learn to live with it
Dm7b5/Ab
         But I don't want to
C                    Em7

Wow. A chicago tune i can play, and it sounds pretty good. Normally, the cat vacates the room when i am playing and singing. With this, she stayed, and gave me a complimentary "meow'. Seriously, wish all submissions were this good. Great stuff.

Nowadays, Ultimate-Guitar doesn't allow submissions that are incomplete. Ones where they tab out some of the song, but then just put lyrics with no chord letters over the lyrics. I wish people would tab out an entire song. That's why there is a scroll button. So people can auto-scroll the song, and play along.
