Verse:   
 
Em                    D 
Don't wanna need the way I need you 
Em                     D 
Don't wanna feel like this 
Em                     D                 G 
Holding back all the words, but not the kiss 
Em                          D 
For the moment my heart begins to murmur 
Em                     D 
The moment of truths arrive 
Em                            D             G 
And I know you'll shake your head and say goodbye 
 

C           D        G      Am 
I know the price of this to me 
Em             D           G        C 
I'll light a candle that shines on you 
            D            G 
I'll be a slave to the beauty 
    Am 
But not the truth

Hurting because you can 
   Em                  D                G  
I never believed I'd crave that kind of man 
       Em                      D 
Cause I've seen the trail of hearts you've broken 
Em                            D 
I've seen the tracks you've laid 
   Em                       D            G 
If I had the strength, I'd run without delay

But not the truth

And you're all I've longed to see
