[Verse]
G C G
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be;
Em D C
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me.
Am Em
I am far away from home,
Am Em
And I've been facing this alone
Dsus4 D C D
For much too long . Oh
G C G
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
Em D C
About growing up and what a struggle it would be.
Am Em
In my tangled state of mind,
Am Em
I've been looking back to find
Dsus4 D C D
Where I went wrong.
[Chorus]
G C
Too much love will kill you
Em D
If you can't make up your mind;
G C
Torn between the lover
Em D
And the love you leave behind.
G C
You're headed for disaster
G A7
'Cos you never read the signs:
G Cadd9
Too much love will kill you
G D C G D C
Every time.
[Verse]
G C G
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be,

And it seems there's no way out of this for me.

I used to bring you sunshine;
Am Em
Now all I ever do
Dsus4 D C D
Is bring you down. Ooh-ooh
G C G
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes?

Can't you see that it's impossible to choose?

Oh, there's making sense of it:

Every way I go
Dsus4 D C D
I'm bound to lose. Oh-ooh
[Chorus]
G C
Too much love will kill you;
Em D
Just as sure as none at all.
G C
It'll drain the power that's in you,
Em D
Make you bleed and scream and crawl.

And the pain will make you crazy;

You're the victim of your crime.

Too much love will kill you
G D C
Every time.

And you won't understand why.
G
(You'd) give your life,

You'd sell your soul,
G A7 (pause)

Too much love will kill you,

In the end.

I-i-i-i-in the end.
