                    G                                        Am 
Strung along out on a desperate wind, taking friends advice to settle in  
                            D                                    G        D7  
But wheres a lover go when all has gone, darling no one is that strong  
                      G                                     Am 
Robbing many men of winter coats, i tell them i am just a little cold  
                           D                                    G  
They offer but they never get me home, darling no one is that strong  
G                      Am                           D                          G   G7        Em 
Your eyes they fill my mind, and i leave my heart behind while i try to find a substitute for you 
        Am                        D  
These souls behind these faces never do 
                    G                                       Am  
You wanna see how sad I've been, or do you want me just to give you in 
                           D                                 G  
And will or are you giving me into, this thing is just so hard to do  
G                      Am                           D                          G   G7        Em 
Your eyes they fill my mind, and i leave my heart behind while i try to find a substitute for you 
        Am                        D  
These souls behind these faces never do 
                         C                                        Em  
Can i be selfish for a little while, and just pretend that we will go these miles 
                           Am          D                      G  
I'm sorry if i pain when you move on, but darling no one is that strong 
       G                    Am           D                   G  
And wheres a lover go when all has gone, darling no one is that strong
