It's been seven hours and fifteen days

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since u took your love away

[C] [G/B] [Am7]
It's been so lonely without u here
[C/E] [F] [G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [C]
Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop this lonely rage
[Am7] [C/E] [F] [G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [C]
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see
[C/E] [F] [G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [C]
But they'd only remind me of you

All the flowers that u planted sugar

In the back yard

All died when u went away
[G/B]
I know that living with me baby is sometimes hard
[Am7] [Eb] [F]
But I'm willing to try, said I'm willing to give it another try.
