[Intro]

| Em          | C           | G           | D           |

 

[Verse 1]

Em                                     C

  Caught in a war of your love and I'm waving my white flag tall,

G                                         D

  wanting you is just like a drug, I keep going through withdrawals.

Em                                      C

  But it ain't ever easy on me, no, you always make me relapse,

G                                    D

  pop every pill of your love 'til I make my way down to the last.

 

[Verse 2]

      Em                                         C

And I won't swallow it down 'til I need you most,

           G                            D

wanna make sure when I do I'm all alone.

                        Em                        C

'Cause that's about the time I get to wanting you,

             G                          D

either way I know I'm bound to overdose.

[Verse 3]

Em                                         C

  Well, money ain't nothing to me, baby, I want something more,

G                                     D

  'cause if I was rich and lonely I'd rather be loving you poor.

Em                                   C

  And love is a precious thing and I think you ought to know so

G                                   D

  but yours is something special, I know will never grow old.

 

[Verse 4]

             Em                             C

And I'd give everything to be yours instead,

         G                                   D

give you all of me 'til there's nothing left.

             Em                              C

Your love is priceless, timeless as much can be,

           G                                D

and I'd do anything just to live that dream.

              Em                            C

Well, if your love could be bought with cash

             G                             D*

I'd give you every last penny and trade my riches to [Interlude] rags.

[Verse 5]

                Em        C

Trade my riches   to rags,

          G                           D

I'd turn away and I'd never look back.

             Em                                      C

You're worth more than I've ever earned, my love for you will forever burn

G                               D

  until my heart turns blue and black.

                  Em                          C

And I'll give you every bit of me until I'm a hard sight to see,

                   G                       D*

yeah, I'd give you everything and trade my riches to rags.
