Note this!: I did not make these chords. I just wanted to post them on this site.

Introduction :

The intro to this song is relatively easy, but is one of my favorites. If you can master 
sequences between the chords, you will be set.
The intro starts with Brian using a multitracked set of ooooh's then the piano starts. 
you see the * symbol, it indicates a type of arpeggio on G used in the intro. You will 
elements of the intro used throughout the song.

G/B    C     G/D    Em6/C#
Oooh   oooh  oooh   oooh

(piano)
 G  D/G C/G G C/E Dsus4

Verse 1 :
             G            C/G            G     *
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
G  D/F#   Em               D               
    C/B
Too many  bitter tears are raining down on me
    Am            Em                  Am           
               Dsus4  D   C/D
I'm far away from home, and I've been facing this alone for much too lo-ng

Verse 2 :
            G           C/G               G     *
I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
G     D/F#    Em            D                 
    C/B
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
      Am               Em              Am              
               Dsus4  D   C/D
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            C#dim
You're headed for disaster, 'cos you never read the signs
G/D                C/D             G
Too much love will kill you, every time.

- Play the Introduction again -

Verse 3 : use the same chords and timings as Verse 1
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

Verse 4 : use the same chords and timings as Verse 2
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.

Chorus : use the same chords and timings as Chorus above
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.

     G                  C                 Em               D

You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul, but here it comes again
