Lyrics

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.

Though I try to (Em7)hide it, it’s clear my world (G)crum bles when you are not near.

I may ap pear to be free

but I’m just a (Em)pris on er

of your (CN.C.)love.

And I may seem al (D)right and smile when you (A)leave but my smiles are just a front,

just a front

And 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

Here is my con fes sion.

May I be your pos ses sion?

Boy, I need your touch, your love, kiss es and (C7)such.

With all my might I try but this I can’t de ny,

de ny.

I play it off but I’m dream ing of you.

And I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiend in’.

I (Bb)try to say good (Eb)bye and I choke.

Try to walk a (Bbsus)way and I stum ble.

Though I try to (Fm7)hide it, it’s clear, my world (Ab)crum bles when you are not near.

Good (Eb)bye and I choke.

Try to walk a (Bbsus)way and I stum ble.

Though I try to (Fm7)hide it, it’s clear, my world (Ab)crum bles when you are not near.

Good (Eb)bye and I choke.

Try to walk a (Bbsus)way and I stum ble.

Though I try to (Fm7)hide it, it’s clear, my world (Ab)crum bles when you are not near.
