F5     C5                            F5       C5   D5 
      I held the book so tightly in my hands, 
G5            E5                    A5         D5             F5 
I saw your picture, heard you call my name 
  
(similar) 

There was something strange, I could not look away 

I wanted to be there, I wanted to go 
Bb5  Eb5        Bb5          Ab5 
You gave me no warning 
G5          Eb5   Bb5  Eb5 
You gave no reason 
Bb5  C5     F5        Ab5 
But I was with you 
Bb5            Eb5 
Right by your side 
C5                G5                   Bb5                Ab5 
Just give me the strength, and I will help you 
Eb5        Bb5                    F5        Bb5           Bb5   F5 
And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me 
G5                   C5 
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! 
  

C5        G5       F5          C5 
but wait a minute, I don't understand 
G5                              A5 
It's getting stronger, so grab my hand 
  
(similar) 

Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go 

But I'm losing all control 
  

C5      D5           C5       D5     C5          D5        C5 
Can't you see me? I'm slipping away 
B5         B5              B5                      E5 
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?
