Capo 1
INTRO: D
verse 1
D A
When past lovers have left you down
D A
Did you think I'd place the crown upon your head?
D A F#m
Do you think I bury the dead with my love
D A
And when past lovers have left you down?
D A
What makes you think I stand all alone
D A
In my grief I fell into your heart
F#m A
With my love, with my love
[Refrão] C# A
And when in days I dream of you
C# A
And night time hardly holds the key
C# A
When I am still believing
F#m A
In what can never be, what can never be
verse 2
D A
You know that I could wallow in your charms
D A
Just like when I'm a baby in your arms
D A F#m
You know that I was blinded by the sun in my eyes
A
With no compromising on your side
D A
Well, I can't love you anymore
D A
Not knowing that you're always outside
D A
That you're always out there smiling through
F#m A
It's not you, it's not like you
[Refrão] C# A
And when in days I dream of you
C# A
And night time hardly holds the key
C# A
When I am still believing
F#m A
In what can never be, what can never be
verse 3
D A
You know that I need you like my life
D A
Did you realize your latest dream?
D A
Is it always only rivers that I'll steal?
F#m A
With my love, with my love
F#m A
With my love, with my love
