Lyrics

I (E)stum ble in the night,

nev er real ly knew what it (A)would have been like,

you’re no long er (B)there to break my (E)fall.

The (E)heart ache o ver you,

I gave it ev ’ry thing but I (A)could n’t get through, I (A)nev er saw the signs.

You’re the last to know when love is blind.

All the tears and the (B)tur bu lent years when I (A)would not wait for (B)no one, I did n’t stop, take a (B)look at my self and (A)see me los ing you.

When the lone ly heart breaks, it’s the one that for sakes, it’s the (B)dream that we stole.

And I’m miss ing you more and the fire that will roar, there’s a (B)hole in my (E)soul.

For you it’s good bye,

and for me it’s to cry,

for (B)whom the bell (E)tolls.

I (E)stum ble in the night,

nev er real ly knew what it (A)would have been like,

you’re no long er (B)there to break my (E)fall.

The (E)heart ache o ver you,

I gave it ev ’ry thing but I (A)could n’t get through, I (A)nev er saw the signs.

Fight the dev il and the (G#m7)deep blue sea, I’ll (F#m7)fol low an y where,

I prom ise I’ll be there.

When the lone ly heart breaks (E)tolls.
