This is based on the version from Solo Acoustic Volume 2.

As Jackson plays it on the piano it's not exact but I think it works as a good 
base for you to then use your ear to hear when a base note or something needs to be emphasised.

Intro: Bb Gm Eb E#

BbIn (x1333x@1)the calling out to one another
       GmAll (355333@1)the lovers up and down the strand
EbIn (x43121@3)the sound of the waves and the cries
       E#
Of the seagulls circling the sand

BbIn (x1333x@1)the fragments of the songs
                 GmCarried (355333@1)down the wind from some radio
EbIn (x43121@3)the murmuring of the city in the distance
E#
Ominous and low

Bb (x1333x@1)                   Gm (355333@1)
I hear the sound of a world where we played
        Eb (x43121@3)                         E#
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made

Gm (355333@1)             EbIf (x43121@3)you ever need holding
Bb (x1333x@1)           E#
Call my name, I'll be there

Gm (355333@1)            EbIf (x43121@3)you ever need holding
       Bb (x1333x@1)                        E#
And no holding back, I'll see you through

Repeat intro

BbWhere (x1333x@1)the touch of the lover ends
        GmAnd (355333@1)the soul of the friend begins
          EbThere's (x43121@3)a need to be separate and a need to be one
      E#
And a struggle neither wins

BbWhere (x1333x@1)you gave me the world I was in
      GmAnd (355333@1)a place I could make a stand
              EbI (x43121@3)could never see how you doubted me
         E#
When I'd let go of your hand
Bb (x1333x@1)       GmYeah, (355333@1)and I was much younger then
      Eb (x43121@3)                 
And I must have thought that I would know
   E#
If things were going to end
Gm (355333@1)                 EbAnd (x43121@3)the heavens were rolling
Bb (x1333x@1)               E#
Like a wheel on a track
Gm (355333@1)              EbAnd (x43121@3)our sky was unfolding
Bb (x1333x@1)                   E#
 And it'll never fold back

I'd have fought the world for you

If I thought that you wanted me to

Or put aside what was true or untrue
       Bb (x1333x@1)           		E#
If I'd known that's what you needed, what you needed me to do me to do

Bb (x1333x@1)                GmBut (355333@1)the moment has passed by me now
        EbTo (x43121@3)have put away my pride
              E#
And just come through for you somehow

Gm (355333@1)            EbIf (x43121@3)you ever need holding
Bb (x1333x@1)          E#

And no holding back, I'll see you through

BbYou're (x1333x@1)the colour of the sky
                  GmReflected (355333@1)in each store-front window pane
EbYou're (x43121@3)the whispering and the sighing
      E#
Of my tires in the rain
Bb (x1333x@1)                                         GmYou're (355333@1)the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do
Eb (x43121@3)          E#          BbYeah (x1333x@1)and I'll never stop looking for you

Gm//music (355333@1)w/o lyrics//

EbIn (x43121@3)the sunlight and the shadows
E#
And the faces on the avenue

	That's the way love is

That's the way love is

Bb Gm Eb
	That's the way love is
