No Matter What I Do

C#m A The daring of despair has led me back to my old home C#m A Paralyzed by patterns, squeezing blood out of a stone C#m Bm You're sitting there before me, but I'm haunted by your ghost Bm Cm Cast up by the tempest here on some deserted shore Em E I wish you loved me more, enough to stay when morning comes Em F# All the damage, all the way, I wish it all were done Bm F# 'Cause I just can't stop loving you Em No matter what I do or how hard I might try F# I can't let go, so still I cry Bm F# 'Cause I just can't stop loving you Bm No matter what I do Bm C#m A The butterfly flies to the light, but I head for the mire C#m A Captivated by your cruelty, tortured by desire C#m Bm We're only bones and bruises now, sadistic, base and vile Bm Cm You bring out all the worst in me, you make me like a child Em E We're toxic but it feels so good, I'm crying through a smile Em F# We're gutting all the ones we love, but doing it in style Bm F# 'Cause I just can't stop loving you Em No matter what I do or how hard I might cry F# I can't let go, so still I try Bm F# 'Cause I just can't stop loving you Bm No matter what I do G Bm Unending echoes in a resonating shell Em We have created our own hell F# All steeped in lies G Bm We dream too much to try and sleep Em This is the tyranny of weakness F# We could leave, but we won't try Bm F# 'Cause I just can't stop loving you Em No matter what I do or how hard I might cry F# I can't let go, I die inside Bm F# 'Cause I just can't stop loving you Bm No matter what I do
