[Verse 1]
[Bm]Suddenly last [Em]summer[G]
I started going [Em]out of my head[G]
[Bm]In a tiny [Em]hotel [G]room
[Bm]Lying naked on a [Em]bed[G]
[Bm]I knew what you were[Em] doing
And I knew what [G]you'd [Bm]done
Your life with [Em]me was ending
Your [G]new life had begun
But [Bm]I was cursing [Em]your name[G]
And [Bm]I was cursing that [Em]room[G]
And I was [Bm]praying for the [Em]strength[G]
To stop [Bm]lov ing [Em]you[C][G][Gm]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Gm][C][Gm][C][Gm][C]

[Verse 2]
I started [Bm]writing you the [Em]letter
Which turned [G]into the book
I was gonna [Bm]reach across the [Em]ocean
And for[C]ce [G]you to look
[Bm]What kind of [Em]man was I[G]?
Who would [Bm]sac [G]ri f[Bm]ice [Em]your
happiness to [C]satisfy [G]his pride?
[Bm]What kind of [Em]man was I[C]?[G]
Who would [Bm]delay your [Em]destiny to ap[C]pease his tiny
[G]mind?

[Interlude 2]
[Gm][C][G][Gm][C]
[Gm][C][F][Gm][C]
Then you came [Bm]back to me

[Verse 3]
[Em]
And I went down [C]on one [G]knee
[Bm]With a glint in [Em]my eyes
And a rose [G]between my teeth
[Bm]And I pushed out m[Em]y tongue
For [C]you [G]to see
That I'd [Bm]been dying of [Em]a thirst
For [C]your company[G]
And then [Bm]you quenched
my [Em]loneliness
[C]With your [G]tears
And [Bm]our clothes fell a[Em]way
As we rolled [C]back [G]the years
[Bm]But we couldn't [Em]deny [C]it[G]
Because [Bm]we could not ad[Em]mit it[C][G]
[Bm]If our love was too [Em]strong to die[C][G]
[Bm]Or we were just [Em]too weak to kill[C] it[G]
Was [Bm]our love [Em]too strong to die?
[C]Or [G]wer[Bm]e we just to weak [Em]to kill it?
[C][G]

[Bm]

[Verse 4]
Every mo[Gm]ment in that room
[C]I closed my e[F]yes i[Gm]n pr[C]ayer
[Bb]Every [Gm]moment I awoke
[C]I clenched my t[F]eeth i[Gm]n prayer
[C]

[Verse 5]
What [Gm]kind of man was [C]I?
Who would [G]sacrifice your [Gm]happiness
to [C]satisfy his pride?
What [Gm]kind of [Bb]man w[C]as I[Gm]?
Who would [D]delay [Gm]your destiny
to ap[C]pease his tiny mind?
What [Gm]kind of man [C]was I?
Who could [Gm]delay your destiny to ap[C]pease his aching,
swollen [Gm]pride?[C]
Who could [G]delay [Gm]your destiny to ap[C]pease his

[Interlude 4]
screaming little mind?
[Gm][Bb][C][Gm][Bb][C]
[F]YOU'RE MINE!
