  			E                                A 
I no longer know what's real anymore 
                   E                      B7 
In the back of my mind I have opened the door 
                   E                        A 
That leads to the past & the love we once shared 
               E     B7                E 
I keep asking myself what am I doing there 
                                         A 
      What am I doing there holding you tight 
                        E                        B7  
      Taking down your hair lying close by your side 
                E                    A 
      Making believe that you still care 
                      E   B7                E 
      My new life is here what am I doing there 
                                          A  
I don't get much rest with the secrets I keep 
                          E                        A    
And I'm afraid that some night oh I'll talk in my sleep 
                E                     E  
How could I explain to the one lying here 
                 E  B7                E 
She's loving me now what am I doing there 
 
 
 
CHO... 
 
                    B7                E  
My new life is here what am I doing there
