I STILL LOVE YOU
Paul Stanley, Vinnie Vincent
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
You tell me that you're leaving
And I'm trying to understand
I had myself believing
I should take it like a man
[Rhy. Fig 2]
But if you gotta go then you gotta know
That it's killing me
And all the things I never seem to show
I gotta make you see
[Rhy. Fig 3]
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Girl it's been so long
(Tell me) tell me how could it be
One of us knows the two of us don't belong
In each others company
[Rhy. Fig 2]
It hurts so much inside your telling me goodbye
You wanna be free
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind
[Riff 1]
I gotta make you see
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Rhy. Fig 5]
I gotta make you see
Gotta make you see

I really, I really love you
I still love you
[Solo 1 over Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
People tell me
I should win at any cost
But now I see as the smoke clears away
The battle has been lost
[Rhy. Fig 2]
I see it in your eyes you never have to lie
I'm out of your life
Tonight I'll dream away and you can still be mine
[Riff 1]
But I'm dreamin' a lie
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Rhy. Fig 5]
Dreamin' a lie
Makes me wanna die
[Rhy. Fig 6a]
'Cause I still love you
I still love you
[Rhy. Fig 6b]
Baby, baby I love you
I still love you
[Solo 2 over Rhy. Fig 7]
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 2]
And when I think of all the things you'll never know
There's so much left to say
'Cause girl, now I see the price of losing you
[Riff 1]
Will be my hell to pay
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Rhy. Fig 5]
My hell to pay
Each and every day
Hear what I say
[Rhy. Fig 6a]
I still love you
I still love you

I really, I really love you
I still love you Baby, baby

About the artist behind I Still Love You Tab:
The original lineup of Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Peter Criss (drums, percussion and vocals) is the most successful and identifiable. With their makeup and costumes, they took on the personae of comic book-style characters: The Demon (Simmons), Starchild (Stanley), Spaceman (Frehley), and The Catman (Criss). The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs. The "Demon" makeup reflected Gene's cynicism and dark elements. Paul Stanley became the "Starchild" due to his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic." Ace Frehley's "Spaceman" makeup was a reflection of him wanting to go for a ride in a space ship and supposedly being from another planet. Peter Criss' "Catman" makeup was in accordance with the belief that Peter had nine lives due to his rough childhood in Brooklyn. Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley were out of the group by 1982. The band's commercial fortunes had also waned considerably by that point.
In 1983, Kiss abandoned their makeup and enjoyed a commercial resurgence throughout the rest of the decade. Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup (with makeup) in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide/Lost Cities/Reunion Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997. Criss and Frehley have since left Kiss again and have been replaced by Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively. The band continues to perform, while Stanley and Simmons have remained the only two constant members.
