Intro - C, Am, C, Am

Am (x02210@1)  Now it's the same as before

F (133211@1)                     G (320003@1)     Am (x02210@1)    Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)F (133211@1)   And I'm alone again


Am (x02210@1)  With no sorrow for myself

F (133211@1)                             G (320003@1)     Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)F (133211@1)  And I'm blaming no one else


G (320003@1)  And closing my eyes

G (320003@1)      G (320003@1)       G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  Em (022000@1)  And seeing you standing there


First solo:

C, Am, C, Am


Am (x02210@1)  Now it's the same as before

F (133211@1)                                 G (320003@1)  Am (x02210@1)  Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)F (133211@1)  You've touched me with your love


Am (x02210@1)  And though you're in my heart

F (133211@1)                           G (320003@1)              Am (x02210@1)  We're still a world apart

Am (x02210@1)  As now I'm back to the time

Am (x02210@1)  Where I would search for a dream

G (320003@1)  But no use to try anymore as before

Am (x02210@1)  Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

Second solo:

C, Am, C, Am,

Am (x02210@1)  So I'm closing my eyes

F (133211@1)                         G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)  To hear the people laugh


Am (x02210@1)  For they're all aglow

F (133211@1)                          G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D G (320003@1)  Not knowing where to go


G (320003@1)  But is it asking too much

G (320003@1)                      G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)Em (022000@1)  When the question is what to do

G (320003@1)  With the life I'll have

G (320003@1)  It seems I know nothing now

G (320003@1)            G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)    Em (022000@1)  Except my love for you

Em (022000@1)  And the strength in my hands

Em (022000@1)                           Em (022000@1)  To go on feeding your smile
