Intro Am 

verse 1 
                             Em 
And the children's eyes they turn 
     G     Em   B7  Bm 
As I walk away 
                    Em      Am 
I am becoming their prey 
                     Em 
And the firelight it burns 
        G              Em           B7      Bm  Em 
In your eyes there are times you despise me 
             Bm        Am 
Oh, you criticize me 

       D            Bm        Am 
I have lost so many friends 
       D              Em  Bm     Am 
I have gained so many memories 

verse 2 
                         Em     G 
I can change the colours of the night 
    Em               B7                  Bm   Em 
The hum and the drum they sound the same 
                             Bm    Am 
When you're tapping the same vein 
                       Em          G             Em 
And I have noticed lately that the time that you took 
                       B7             Bm     Em 
To look at my face has gone without a trace 
           Bm        Am 
Oh, you despise me 

       D            Bm        Am 
I have lost so many friends 
       D              Em  Bm     Am 
I have gained so many memories 
       D            Bm        Am 
I have lost so many friends 
       D                       Bm        A 
I have gained so many, so many enemies 

Bridge 
              Em                 A 
Over the years things disappear 
             D              Bm       A 
But once in awhile you call my name 
                      Em      A 
In you, you've got the loving touch 
           D              Bm  
I live and breath for the rush 
            E7                   Bm 
Oh, when we touch, oh, there's a rush 
        E7   Am 
When we touch 

       D            Bm        Am 
I have lost so many friends 
       D              Em  Bm     Am 
I have gained so many memories 
       D            Bm        Am 
I have lost so many friends 
       D                                         Bm        Am 
I have gained so many, so many, so many, so many enemies
