Strophe 1:

F
Everybody wants a lover

C
Nobody wants to uncover

G                            B                 F                            
What may lays deep beneath a sometimes painful past

F
Wanna go without care

C
Pull gardenias from her hair

G                                  B            F
I think of a time we didn't have a care in the world

F                          C
Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life-long duty

G                                    B     F
She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen

Chorus:

C                       G
How do you talk without speaking?

B                       F          
How do you hear without listening?

C                        G               
How do you live without feeling?

B                       F    C  
How do you take without giving?

B                      F        
How do you keep it all inside?



Strophe 2:

F                                          
There are footprints on my ceiling

C
I can't help this fucked up feeling

G                                   B             F
Something's wrong, you ain't comin' around here no more

F
Try to get my thoughts together

C
I think of a time when things were better

G                        B           F
This miscommunication is breaking me down


Than repeat chorus ...

Strophe 3:

F
Everybody wants a lover

C
Nobody wants to uncover

G                            B                 F
What may lays deep beneath a sometimes painful past

F
My heart is heavy slowly sinking

C
I redirect my desperate thinking

G                                 B                  F
And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time



Than repeat the chorus once again ....
That's it !

....Great song....
