Version 1
Version 2
From the album 'Made In Heaven', this is a tab for the Queen version of the song. If
you wanted to play the solo, there's an excellent tab for that by Kanfano on this site.
I use the notation of G - - D/F# | to indicate that a G chord is played for the first
three beats of the bar, and the D/F# is played on the fourth beat. The | separates bars.
Standard tuning, no capo.

[Intro]
G - - D/F# | C - - - | G - - D/F# | C - - - |
[Verse]
G C G
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be;
D/F# Em D C - - G/B |
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me.
Am Em
I am far away from home,
Am Em
And I've been facing this alone
Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
For much too long . Oh
G C G
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
D/F# Em D C - - C/B |
About growing up and what a struggle it would be.
Am Em
In my tangled state of mind,
Am Em
I've been looking back to find
Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
Where I went wrong.
[Chorus]
G C
Too much love will kill you
Em D
If you can't make up your mind;
G C
Torn between the lover
Em D
And the love you leave behind.
G/B C
You're headed for disaster
Dadd11 C#dim
'Cos you never read the signs:
G5
Too much love will kill you
G - - D/F# | C - - - | G - - D/F# | C - - - |
Every time.
[Verse]
G C G
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be,
D/F# Em D C
And it seems there's no way out of this for me.
Am Em
I used to bring you sunshine;
Am Em
Now all I ever do
Dsus4 - D - |C - D - |
Is bring you down. Ooh-ooh
G C G
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes?
D/F# Em D C - - C/B |
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose?
Am Em
Oh, there's making sense of it:
Am Em
Every way I go
Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
I'm bound to lose. Oh-ooh
[Chorus]
G C
Too much love will kill you
Em D
If you can't make up your mind;
G C
Torn between the lover
Em D
And the love you leave behind.
G/B C
You're headed for disaster
Dadd11 C#dim
'Cos you never read the signs:
G5
Too much love will kill you
G - - D/F# | C - - - | G - - D/F# | C - - - |
Every time.
[Solo]
G - - D/F# | G - - D/F# | Em - D - | C - - - |
Am - Em - | Am - Em - | Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
[Chorus]
G C
Yeah, too much love will kill you;
Em D
It'll make your life a lie.
G C
Yes, too much lo-ooove will kill you
Em D
And you won't understand why.
G/B
(You'd) give your life,
C
You'd sell your soul,
Dadd11 C#dim (pause)
But here it comes again:
G Cm/Eb
Too much love will kill you,
G - - D/F# | C - D - |
In the end.
G - - D/F# | C - Em - | - - - - | - - - - |
I-i-i-i-in the end.
