You like to keep me dangling on a string..
Ab                             Bb
cause you know without you, my life don't 
       Eb
mean a thing.

 Eb
around, oh, no.

what would I do then?
Ab                          Eb
Keep that string up off the ground, oh, yeah..
            Bb                         Eb
remember my heart is tied to the other end.
