(1)(2) E  -x2-

B
              E 
Sometimes I cry
                   G              (2) E     B
Because you don't love me no more
                   G
And sometimes I'm dyin'
        E           D              B
I'd be lyin' if I tried to ignore
            E
The hurtin' inside
                   G              (2) E     B
That started when you walked away
                  G
And each night reminds me
        E              D             C
It's behind me, but I need you today
              B
I need you today

(3)
Every moment speaks hovering silently in the air
     D    A               E   (3)
The wind hammers like a drum

Every highway leads into a darker sea of despair
      D   A                     E
Turn you back to where I come from

B
              E 
Sometimes I cry
                   G              (2) E     B
Because you don't love me no more
                   G
And sometimes I'm dyin'
        E           D              B
I'd be lyin' if I tried to ignore
            E
The hurtin' inside
                   G              (2) E     B
That started when you walked away
                  G
And each night reminds me
        E              D             C
It's behind me, but I need you today
              B
I need you today

(3)
Everything she said twisting around and turning inside
    D    A                  E
My head more confused than yesterday
(3)
When I go to bed the trucks on the freeway sing me a song
      D        A                      E
This rock just ain't a safe place to hide under anymore

G (2)  E
                       G           (2) E
Ain't a safe place to hide anymore

B
              E 
Sometimes I cry
                   G              (2) E     B
Because you don't love me no more
                   G
And sometimes I'm dyin'
        E           D              B
I'd be lyin' if I tried to ignore
            E
The hurtin' inside
                   G              (2) E     B
That started when you walked away
                  G
And each night reminds me
        E              D             C
It's behind me, but I need you today
              B
I need you today

I think the riffs are wrong but you can play the chords
instead.
