C Dm
Out where the bright lights are glowing
Dm7 G7 C
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
Dm7 G7 C
You laugh while the wine's over-flowing,
C G7 C G G/A G/B
While I sit and whisper your name
C Dm G G7 C G G/A G/B
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see
C C7 F C G7 C
Four walls too near me, closing in on me
C Dm
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
Dm7 G7 C
But my walls have nothing to say
Dm7 G7 C
I'm made for love, not for hating
C G7 C G G/A G/B
So here where you left me I'll stay
C Dm G G7 C G G/A G/B
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see
C C7 F C G7 C
Four walls too near me, closing in on me
C Dm
One night with you is like heaven
Dm7 G7 C
And so while I'm walking the floor,
Dm7 G7 C
I'll listen for steps in the hallway
C G7 C G G/A G/B
And wait for your knock on my door
C Dm G G7 C G G/A G/B
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see
C C7 F C G7 C
Four walls too near me, closing in on me
C Dm G G7 C G G/A G/B
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see
C C7 F C G7 C
Four walls too near me, closing in on me
