It's written in the book 
  
It's hotter than I've known before, 

but I feel so cold, and I don't know why 

But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm 

Then I really believe, you could make it right 
  
Ooh the time has come now 

We must show our feelings 

But I'm looking right through you 

And your heart is empty 

Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now 

There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide 

Please, oh please   you let me down!

Bm         Bm/A              Bm/G                      E/F# 
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here, oh lord 
  
It's written in the book 
  
Oh so many times since I've read those words 
Just waiting to see you, can you see me? 
Tell me can you see me?
