1.   I've  been lookin' for someone,     between the fire and the flame, 
F  G Am 
    we're all lookin' for somethin' to ease the pain. 
F         G        F     G 
    Now, who can you turn to,      when it's all black and white,

2.    When you're out on the front line,     and you're watchin' them fall, 
F G           Am 
    doesn't take long to realize, it ain't worth fightin' for. 
F  G     F  G 
    I thought I saw the Madonna,    when you walked in the room, 
F     G      Am 
     and your eyes were like diamonds, and they cut right through, 
    oh they cut right through. 

  G    Am         C   - D     G

Bb C 
    Another night, another lesson learned, 
Bb          C 
    it's the distance that keeps us sane.  
Bb        C 
    But when the silence leads to sorrow, 
  D 
    We do it all again, all again. 
+ REFRAIN 1    + REFRAIN 2  + .....
