Lyrics

What now my (F)love,

now that you (Bb)left (F)me?

How can I (Gm)Live

through an oth er (F)day?

Watch ing my (F)dreams

turn ing to (Bb)ash (F)es,

and my (Gm)hopes

in to bits (C7)of (F)clay.

(F7)Once I could (Gm7)see,

once I could (Am7)feel.

Now I am (Gm7)numb,

I’ve be (C7)come

un (Fmaj7)real.

I (F7)walk the (Bbm7)night

with out a (Abmaj7)goal.

Stripped of my (Bbm6)heart,

my (Gm7)soul.

What now my (F)love,

now that it’s (Bb)o (F)ver?

I feel the (Gm)world

clos ing in on (F)me.

Here come the (F)stars

tum bling a (Bb)round (F)me,

there’s the (Gm)sky

where the sea (C7)should (F)be.

(F7)What now my (Gm7)love,

now that you’re (Am7)gone?

I’d be a (Gm7)fool

to go (C7)on

and (Fmaj7)on.

No (F7)one would (Bbm7)care,

no one would (Abmaj7)cry.

If I should (Bbm6)live

or (Gm7)die.

What now my

What now my (F)love,

now there is (Bb)noth (F)ing.

On ly my (Gm)last

(C9)good (F)bye.
