Capo 1

[Chorus]

       Am
In the night I hear them talk
            Dm
The coldest story ever told
          F
Somewhere far along this road
            Em
He lost his soul
                        Am Dm
To a woman so heartless
                               Am Dm
How could you be so heartless

How could you be so heartless


[Verse]

Am
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
            G                            Am
You need to watch the way you talking to me yo

Am
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know some things you things that you ain't told me
      G                              Am
Ayo I did some things but that's the old me

Am
And now you wanna pay me back, and you gon' show me
So you walk round like you don't me
You got them new friends, well I got homeys
           G                Am
But at the end its still so lonely


[Chorus]

       Am
In the night I hear them talk
            Dm
The coldest story ever told
          F
Somewhere far along this road
            Em
He lost his soul
              Am
To a woman so heartless, heartless
G                                Am G
  How could you be so heartless,    oh
                    Am
How could you be so heartless


[Verse]

Am
How could be so Dr. Evil
You bringin' out the side of me that I dont know
I decided we weren't goin' speak so
G                       Am
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone

Why does she be so mad at me fo'
Homie i dont know, she's hot and cold
I wont stop, i wont mess my groove up
G                       Am
Cause i already know how this thing go

Am
You run and tell your friends that you leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
G                             Am
You'll never find nobody better than me


[Chorus]

       Am
In the night I hear them talk
            Dm
The coldest story ever told
          F
Somewhere far along this road
            Em
He lost his soul
              Am
To a woman so heartless, heartless
G                                Am G
  How could you be so heartless,    oh
                    Am
How could you be so heartless


[Bridge]

Am
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk
Baby lets just knock it off
                    G
They don't know what we been through
                     Am
They don't know 'bout me and you

So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you cant believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you cant make it right
Im gon' take off tonight, into the night


[Chorus]

       Am
In the night I hear them talk
            Dm
The coldest story ever told
          F
Somewhere far along this road
            Em
He lost his soul
              Am
To a woman so heartless, heartless
G                                Am G
  How could you be so heartless,    oh
                    Am
How could you be so heartless
