   Verse 1:
   F#m                      D    E
   So many words for the broken heart
   F#m                      D    E
   It's hard to see in a crimson love
   E               D   C#
   So hard to breathe Walk with me, and maybe
   F#m                  D      E
   Nights of light so soon become
   F#m                     D      E
   Wild and free I could feel the sun
   E            D         C#
   Your every wish will be done They tell me...

   CHORUS:
   F#m                       D     E
   Show me the meaning of being lonely
   F#m                     D     E
   Is this the feeling I need to walk with
   A               C#                     F#m
   Tell me why I can't be there where you are
   D                         E
   There's something missing in my heart

   F#m D E

   Verse 2: (chords: see verse 1)
   Life goes on as it never ends
   Eyes of stone observe the trends
   They never say forever gaze
   Guilty roads to an endless love
   There's no control
   Are you with me now?
   Your every wish will be done
   They tell me

   CHORUS
   (same as before, except:)
   D E G#m
   There's something missing in my heart

   Bridge:
   G#m                  E
   There's nowhere to run
               F#    G#m
   I have no place to go
   E                F#          B
   Surrender my heart, body and soul
   E
   How can it be you're asking me to feel
         G#m
   the things you never show
