[B] _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [C#] I can't stand it when you tell our infant son, [D#m] he was born beneath a bed sun.
_ [G#m] [D#] I can't stand it when he smiles up at you, just because you're his luck.
_ [F#] I can't [C#] stand the bitter thing that I've become, [D#m] between the four walls that hold up our [G#m] ceiling.
And I wonder, when the house gets real quiet, who between [B] us, [D#] will be the first one to surrender to the [F#] feeling.
And I know, _ [D#] you don't want [Bm] me to hurt you.
[C#] And I, don't _ _ _ _ [Bm] want you to hurt me, [D#] the way you do.

_ _ _ [F#] _ I can't stand it when you put the boy to [D#m] bed, singing those songs I used to sing to you.
I can't stand to hear you sing those songs, [D#] when you know you don't mean them.
[C#] I can't stand the way my body still [D#m] remembers how much we used to mean to one another, way back [G#m] when.
And I can't stand going back to seek the shelter [D#] of your arms.
And I can't stand it [F#] again.
And I know, I [D#] know, you don't [Bm] want me to hurt you [C#] _ tonight.
And I, I don't [Bm] want you to hurt me, [C#] the way you do.
