Bm     Em          C G
Suddenly last summer
                Bm        Em   C G
I started going out of my head
     Bm     Em       C G
In a tiny hotel room
      Bm    Em       C G
Lying naked on a bed
Bm                   Em         C               G
I knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd done
     Bm               Em      C                 G
Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun
          Bm           Em   C G
But I was cursing your name
          Bm           Em   C G
and I was cursing that room
          Bm              Em      C G
And I was praying for the strength
   Bm      Em      C G
to stop loving you

[Verse 2]
          Bm              Em
I started writing you the letter
C                 G
Which turned into the book
            Bm               Em
I was gonna reach across the oceans
    C         G
And force you to look
Bm               Em  C   G
But what kind of man was I?
          Bm        Em                C       G
Who would sacrifice your happiness to satisfy his pride
Bm           Em  C   G
What kind of man was I?
          Bm         Em         C           H
Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind

[Verse 3]
         Bm           Em            C           G
Then you came back to me and I went down on one knee
       Bm          Em         C               G
With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth
      Bm            Em     C          G
And I pushed out my tongue for you to see
              Bm         Em     C        G
That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company
         Bm          Em         C         G
Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears
        Bm           Em         C               G
And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years
       Bm       Em      C G
But we couldn't deny it
           Bm        Em       C G
because we could not admit it

Bm              Em                C G
If our love was too strong to die
Bm              Em                C G
Or we were just too weak to kill it
Bm           Em                 C G
Was our love too strong to die?
Bm              Em                  C G
Or were we just too weak to kill it?

Every moment in that room
C5                  D5       C5
I closed my eyes in prayer

Every moment I awoke

I clenched my teeth in prayer
