INTRO: Em Am D Bm C Am D D
Em Am
She never took the train alone
D Bm
she hated being on her own
C Am
She always took me by the hands
D B
and say she needs me
Em Am
She never wanted love to fail
D Bm
she always hoped that it was real
C Am
She'd look me in the eyes
D B
and say believe me
Em Am
And then the night becomes the day
D Bm
and there's nothing left to say
C Am
If there's nothing left to say
D B
then something's wrong
Em Am D Bm C
Ref. Ohhh tonight you killed me with your smile
Am D B
so beautiful and wild so beautiful
Em Am D Bm
Ohhh tonight you killed me with your smile
C Am B Em
so beautiful and wild so beautiful and wild
Em Am
And as the hands would turn with time
D Bm
she'd always say that she was mine
C Am
She'd turn and lend a smile
D B
to say that she's gone
Em Am
But in a whisper she'd arrive
D Bm
and dance into my life
C Am
Like a music melody
D B
like a lovers song

Through the darkest night
Em
comes the brightest light
B
And the light that shines
Em
is deep inside
B
It's who you are
