Lyrics

Did I dis ap point you or let you down? Should I be feel ing guilt y or let the judg es frown? ’Cause I saw the end be (C#m)fore we’d be gun. Yes, I (G#m)saw you were blind ed and I (A)knew I had won. So I (E)took what’s mine by e (C#m)ter nal right. Took your soul out in to the night. It may be o ver but it (C#m)won’t stop there. I am (G#m)here for you if you’d (A)on ly care. You (E)touched my heart. You touched my soul. You (C#m)changed my life and all my goals. And (A)love is blind but that I knew when my heart was blind ed by you. I’ve (E)kissed your lips and held your head. (C#m)Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I (G#m)know you well. I know your smell. I’ve been ad dict ed to you. Good bye my lov er. Good bye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one (B)for me. Good bye my lov er. Good bye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I am a dream er and when I wake you can’t break my spir it. It’s my dreams you take. And as you move on, re mem ber me. Re mem ber us and all we used to be. I’ve (E)seen you cry. I’ve seen you smile. I’ve (C#m)watched you sleep ing for a while. I’d (A)be the fa ther of your child. I’d spend a life time with you. I (E)know your fears and you know mine. We’ve (C#m)had our doubts but now we’re fine. And I love you, I swear that’s true. I can not live with out (E)you. Good bye my lov er. And I still (B)hold your hand in mine, in mine when I’m a sleep. And I will (C#m)bear my soul in time when I’m (A)kneel ing at your feet. Good bye my lov er. Good bye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. Good bye my lov er. Good bye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. I’m so hol low, ba by. I’m so hol low. I’m so, I’m so, I’m so (B)hol low. I’m so hol low, ba by. I’m so hol low. I’m so, I’m so, I’m so (B)hol low.
