The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips

A sweet and tender kiss

The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring

Someone calling your name

Somebody so warm cradled in your arm

F#                Abm   C#            F#
Millions of us in love, promises made good
         Abm       C#
Your own flesh and blood
F#               Abm    C#               F#
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
F#            Abm         C#
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
B                                 Bbm
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
Abm                     C#
Didn't you think anyone loved you
F#                                   Abm    C#           F#
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
