I have been re- writing this thing over and over - trying to find the right chords and the right fit with the lyrics. I have modified both.
Phill did an excellent version of the original version.... however  - it was bothering me that something wasn't quite right.  as it turned out - i found that I needed lryic changes that were necessary - which then led me to replay this thing a hundred times or more - until I finally was happy with the chords.
That led me to re-thinking the title of the song -  Which I changed to just   " STONE COLD ".

I think I finally got there - at least it sounds right in my head. I have been finger picking the heck out of this on my Martin ( and occasionally on my Fender 12 string) both sounded great to me. 

anyway - here is the new version

STONE COLD

[C]I think you and I both know
That our[Em] love is passing by
[Am]been trying to think of reasons,
and I'm [F] trying not to  [G]cry
[C]seems  long ago,  you and I
Thought our [Em]lives had turned to gold
[F]now all we have are stormy  nights
where  your [G]heart has turned stone [C]cold

Chorus

[F] you once  said that you'd love me for[C] ever
[F]  now I'm finding out ,  that isn't   [C]true
[F] I know I can't make you [C]love me
But  I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you
no  I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you

.

[C] now I wake up every  morning
and I  [Em] feel the emptiness  inside
[Am] the silence makes me feel like
a [F] part of me has  [G]died
[C]started  looking at  old photographs   
[Em] got me  wishing for days of  old
[F] but love can't be saved by  sweet memories 
Cause  your  [G]heart has turned stone [C]cold

.

Chorus

.
[F] you once  said that you'd love me for[C] ever
[F]  now I'm finding out ,  that isn't   [C]true
[F] I know I can't make you  [C]love me
But  I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you
no  I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you
I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you

[C] Now I've got  long,  sleepless nights
Cause I  [Em] can't get you off  my  mind
[Am] never thought it'd  come to this
It's  so  [F]  hard to leave  love  be[G]hind
[C] my friends all tell me to move along
but i [Em] won't listen to what I'm told
[F']  I know what your love was like
before your [G] heart  turned stone[C] cold

.
  Chorus

.
[F] you once  said that you'd love me for[C] ever
[F]  now I'm finding out ,  that isn't   [C]true
[F] I know I can't make you [C]love me
But  I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you
no  I [G] can't make myself [F]stop loving [C]you
I [G] can’t make myself [F]stop loving [C]you

now, now, boys and girls -
When I was in college and had no money I used to have Spam and Macaroni & Cheese for dinner 3 or four times a week - I didn't mind it at all.
I actually kinda liked it. But then again I grew up with 9 siblings - my dad was killed in an industrial accident when I was 7 months old - leaving my mom with 10 kids and a farm to run. When you came to dinner you ate what was served - no complaining or you ended up with nothing.  I guess that's why SPAM ain't so bad to me.
As far as ingredients - no worse than chicken McNuggets or hot dogs. While I admit that I haven't had any in probably 10 - 15 years - I wouldn't hesitate if it was on my plate.

"When you are facing hunger with limited means - pretty much everything looks good"

I love the Monty Python skit !

very unique - way too much going on for me though -  I like the guitar tapping.   Do you have to have a mic / pic up in the guitar just for that or does the sound go through the electric system of the guitar ( like a regular acoustic electric set up ) ?

good one badeye

lol - that's very good

Hope Bill and Dondra smile!

Phill

you know I don't mind

Dont get hurt doing it !  LOL

sad indeed - add Troy Gentry to the list as he died yesterday in a helicopter crash in NJ. 

Tragic

Might have to include Florida and east coast states in a few days

that's funny!!!
