Verse 1 (hushed, almost spoken) Your coat's still on my chair, your smoke's still in the room Said we're done at midnight, now I'm waiting on the moon You know where I'm tender, you know where to press Then you hold me like a hymn after you've made a mess Pre-Chorus (drums creep in) Slow-motion wreck, and I can't look away Say I'm gone for good, then I'm begging you to stay Chorus (full band, wall of guitar) I can't stand you, but I can't live without you Hate the way you know me, hate the way you're right I can't stand you, but I can't live without you Fight all day and I'm still yours tonight Verse 2 You call me a liar, I call you cold We've said every word we can't unsay, we've said them all Pack your bags, I'll pack mine, we both unpack by dawn Two kinds of rust, still holding on Pre-Chorus (repeat) Chorus (repeat) Bridge (drops to bass and voice, then builds in four layers) I hate that I need you I need that I hate you Every door I slam, I'm the one who's shaking Maybe we're the sickness, maybe we're the cure Either way, I'm taking it Final Chorus (key lift, gang vocals on the last line) Outro (voice and one detuned guitar) I can't stand you... but I can't live without you
