See the stone set in your eyes,
see the thorn twist in your side.
I’ll wait
for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait.
And I wait
with out you,
with or with out you,
with or with (D)out
you.
Through the storm we reach the shore, you a give it all but I want more.
And I’m wait
ing for you...
With or with out you,
with or with (D)out
you.
with or with out you, ah ha.
I can’t live,
with or with (D)out
you.
And you (D)give your self a way.
And you give your self a way.
And you give,
and you give,
and you (D)give your self a way.
My hands are tied,
my bo dy bruised, she got me with
no thing to win and
(D)no thing left lose.
And you (D)give your self a way.
And you give your self a way.
And you give,
and you give,
and you (D)give your self a way.
My hands are tied,
my bo dy bruised, she got me with
no thing to win and
(D)no thing left lose.
And you
With or with out you,
with or with out you, oh,
I can’t live,
with or with (D)out
you.
(D)Oh.
(D)Oh.
(D)Oh.
With or with out you,
with or with out you, oh,
I can’t live,
with or with (D)out
you.
With or with (D)out you.
(D)out you.
