(1)     -8x-

 (1)               |    (1)
Should I offer you over?
(1)                 |     (1)
 Is it best not to pain?
(1)                     |         (1)
We could ship out our shadow lives
   (1)       |  (1)  C  G
So come lonely
               F#                  Eb    D      G
Who knows when one of them should fall
             F#              Eb
You know without them I am small

(2)     -4x-

C
                               D     C
Without you I go through withdrawl
                                  D     G
I'd hear the talking through the wall
             F#               Eb
Without them I'm not brave at all

(1)     -4x-

 (1)             |    (1)
When I offer you over
(1)       |   (1)
Come lonely
 (1)             |    (1)
When I offer you over
(1)       |   (1)  (1)
Come lonely

=======================================================

note:
During the "without you..." part one guitar plays this:
A--10-10-...-9-9-...-6-6-...-5-5-..
And second one enters to only play the Eb and D.
You can also use the chords G (x10 12 12 12 x) and
F#/G (x9 12 12 12 x) in that part of the song instead
of the single notes.
