C Am Dm G x2
C Am
Can you hear me when I call your name
Dm G
Or was it the wind that took it away
C Am
And I still feel your every move
Dm G
I die and cry with every thought of you
F G
When I look there's no one there
F G
Do you know how much I really care
(Chorus)
C Am
So why we're so rich in love
Em F
Maybe we're the only ones
G
No rights no wrongs
C Am
Don't try it was meant to be
Em F
We'll never be the lonely ones
G
And I'll build a better world for you
C G
And me
C Am
Somedays I can't make it through
Dm G
Somedays I never really wanted to
C Am
And I'm still searching but it's been
So long
Dm G
I'm pretending that there's nothing wrong
F G
and in my heart you know you'll always be
F G
The only love that lives inside of me
(Chorus)
F G
Need you so I won't let it go
Am G
Need you so, ohhh yeahhh
C Em F G C Em F G
F G
In my memory you'll always be
Am
My heart and soul my dream
G
My destiny
(Chorus)
