Album:  Big Thing (1988)

                  Dm
Do you believe in love? 
Do you believe in shame?
        F     
And if love can conquer all 
      G                       Dm
Then why do we only feel the pain?

                      Dm
I heard you speak my name 
Heard you singing The Stones
                  F                    G
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static 
              Dm
On my telephone

                        Dm
So why your eyelids are closed, 
Inside a case of rust
                     F
And did you have to change 
                G               Dm
All your poets fire into frozen dust

Dm
I've tried to justify it to learn from your mistake
                        F                         G
But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point 
                      Dm
With such a pointless waste 

Dm                             F    G    Dm
Come out

                   Dm
Do you believe in shame? 
Do you believe in love?
                       F
And if they taste the same 
                 G               Dm
Would you love again or abandon both?

                     Dm
I don't think I ever can 
Belive my friend has gone
                     F                          G
Keep saying it's alright I'm going to bring you back 
                Dm
But I know I'm wrong

                     Dm
There's nothing I can say 
There's nothing left to do
                  F                   G
It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely 
                 Dm
When I think of you

        G
And it may seem selfish now 
          Dm            G
But I'll hold on to the memory
       Bb                C     G
Until all this fear is washed away
                
                   Dm
Do you believe in love? 
Do you believe in life?
                         F            G
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me 
Will never die...
