Games, chang es and fears; when will they (Em)go from here? When (CN.C.)will they stop? I be lieve that (D)fate has brought us here and we should be to (Em7)geth er, babe, but we’re not. I play it off but I’m dream ing of you. And I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiend in’. I try to say good (D)bye and I choke. I try to walk a (Asus)way and I stum ble. Though I try to (Em7)hide it, it’s clear my world (G)crum bles when you are not near. Good (D)bye and I choke. I try to walk a (Asus)way and I stum ble.
