[verse] G C G
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
G D/F# Em Bm/D C
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
Am Em Am Em
I'm far away from home, and I've been facing this alone for much too
Dsus4 D C/D
long
[w/ verse prog.]
I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind, I've been looking back to find where I went
wrong.
[chorus]
G C Em D
Too much love will kill you, if you can't make up your mind
G C Em D
Torn between the lover, and the love you leave behind
G/B C G/D Em6/C#
You're headed for disaster, 'cos you never read the signs

Too much love will kill you, every time.
[play intro chords again]
[w/verse prog.]
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine, now all I ever do is bring you down
[and again]
HOw would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it, every way I go I have to
lose.
[w/ chorus prog.]
Too much love will kill you, just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you, make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy. you're the victim of your crimes
Too much love, will kill you, every time.

Too much love will kill you, it'll make your life a lie
Yeah too much love will kill you, and you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul, but here it comes again

Too much love will kill you
Eb F9/Eb Eb F9/Eb G

Quick lesson in music theory:
9th chord = 1 ,3 ,5 ,b7, 9.
Thus, F9 = F ,A ,C ,Eb ,G.
The Cmadd9 chord is actually a down scale, all the notes of which add up
to make a Cmadd9 chord (C Eb G D)
I think the F9/Eb chord is right. Then again, the whole damn thing may
be wrong. Play it through and listen to the song and see what you think.
