E
I no longer know
A
What's real any more
E
In the back of my mind
B
I have opened the door
E
That leads to the past
A
And the love we once shared
E B
I keep asking myself
E
What am I doing there
chorus (same chords as verse):
What am I doing there
Holding you tight
Taking down your hair
Lying close by your side
Making believe
That you still care
My new life is here
What am I doing there
I don't get much rest
With this secret I keep
And I'm afraid that some night
Oh, I'll talk in my sleep
How could I explain
To the one lying there
She's loving me now
What am I doing there
(repeat chorus)
My new life is here
What am I doing there
