And when you look at me, I accept defeat, but I try to, subtly

In the moonlight over Hammersmith Bridge
G
You know that I cannot resist

So just please, go easy on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
My Helen of Troy, you bring me to the brink

What if I am just another ship for you to sink?

Like I have a choice, my world, you could destroy
D C
Still I can't help but reach my hand across the void
[Chorus]
Am C G D
I could never refuse, no, I could not deny
Am C
I'd do anything to be with you
G
Lay down my life, down my life

Lay down my life
