    Eb                    Bb
You took me away from the rest of the world,
         F7                         Bb
When you taught me to love you like this.
      Eb                       Bb
Now I hang by a thread, in the canyon of doom,

But I still can be saved.. by your kiss...

Not to go, but stay in my arms.
