Intro:  F#  Ebm 

F#                                                       Ebm          
I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
        B                                    F#     Ebm
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
          B                                  C#   D  E
And I found out just a little too late

         A                                                       F#m
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
                                                                D
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
                                               A       F#m
But then you were gone and it was all wrong
       Bm                           E     F G
Had no idea how much I cared

Chorus:
         C                      
Now being without you
             Em                          F
Takes a lot of getting used to
                                       Fm
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
C                   
Living without you
    Em
Is all a big mistake
     F     
Instead of getting easier
           Fm
It's the hardest thing to take
           G
I'm addicted to ya babe
              G#   Bb        C        
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Chorus

2nd Chorus
     C#                      
Being without you
            Fm                          F#
Takes a lot of getting used to
                                       F#m
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
C#
Being without you
    Fm
Is all a big mistake
     F#
Instead of getting any easier
            F#m
It's the hardest thing to take
          G#
I'm addicted to you
              A     B         C#
You're a hard habit to break
