Maroon 5

From the moment the ^G# lights went off, ^D#
Everything had ^Bb changed. ^Cm
Lie awake in an ^G# empty room,
In my ^D# head it all feels the ^Bb same. ^Cm
Like the taste of the ^G# day you left,
It still ^D# lingers on my ^Bb breath. ^Cm
And the dampness of ^G# tears that left,
That ^D# stain where you had ^Bb wept. ^Cm
All alone with the ^G# negligee,
That still ^D# hangs off of my ^Bb bed. ^Cm
I keep meaning to ^G# give it away,
But I ^D# just leave it there in ^Bb stead.
Chorus: Cm, Cm/Bb, G#, D#, B7,
Bb, D#
Note: This is very subtle, but DO NOT play Bb after that Cm. Only the bass note moves,
the chord is still on Cm. If you play Bb, it will sound very wrong.

No need to ^Cm/Bb cry about it, ^G#
I can not ^D# live without it,
^B7 Every time I ^Bb7sus wind up ^Bb back at your ^D# door. ^Cm
Why do you ^Cm/Bb do this to me? ^G#
You pene ^D# trate right through me.
^B7 Every time I ^Bb7sus wind up ^Bb back at your ^D# door.
Verse 2 has the same rhythm and same chords as Verse 1.

3 more days ‘til I see your face,
I'm afraid it's far too much.
Cook a meal and fix up the place,
Dial your number, hang it up.
If I took you for granted,
I apologize for acting tough.
You're my reason for living,
And there's no way I'm giving up, oh.
Chorus 2 has the same rhythm and same chords as Chorus 1.
No need to cry about it,
I can not live without it,
Every time I wind up back at your door.
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me.
Every time I wind up back at your door.
Bridge: Gm7, Fm7, G#, D#, G#, Bb

Now ^Gm7 every ^Fm7 evening is a ^G# bitter ^D# fight,
And I'm ^Gm7 eating all ^Fm7 alone on a ^G# Friday ^D# night.
And I ^Gm7 know what your ^Fm7 friends say,
“He's just ^G# wasting your love and ^D# time.”
G# (crescendo) Bb (back to Cm)
I will never let you change your mind.
Chorus 3: Cm, Cm/Bb, G#, D#, (G#,
Bb, D#) or (B7, Bb7sus, Bb, D#)
Note: Another subtlety. The last line switches between some slight chord variations.
