Intro:   [C] [Em] [C] [Em]
 
[Am] 
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
    [Em]
I'll tell you that
     [Am]
but if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
[Em]
where's the sense in that?

         [G]
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
     [Dm]                   [Em]
or return to where we were
 
[F]                         [C]
but I will go down with this ship
           [Dm]                   [Am]
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
             [F]                    [C]
there will be no white flag above my door
      [G]             [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be
 
[Am] 
I know I left too much mess
                        [Em]
and destruction to come back again
           [Am]
and I cause nothing but trouble
                        [Em]
I understand if you can't talk to me again
 
[G]
and if you live by the rules of it's over
         [Dm]               [Em]
then I'm sure that that makes sense 

[F]                         [C]
but I will go down with this ship
           [Dm]                   [Am]
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
             [F]                    [C]
there will be no white flag above my door
      [G]             [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be
 
          [C] 
and when we meet, which I'm sure we will
           [Em]
all that was then, will be there still
           [Dm]
I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue
            [G]
and you will think that I've moved on
 
 
[F]                         [C]
but I will go down with this ship
           [Dm]                   [Am]
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
             [F]                    [C]
there will be no white flag above my door
      [G]             [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be
 

[F]                         [C]
I will go down with this ship
           [Dm]                   [Am]
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
             [F]                    [C]
there will be no white flag above my door
      [G]             [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 5
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
