C          C/E                F
May be the hardest thing I've ever done
       C/G  G#o7        Am
was to walk away from you.
C          C/E                F       
 Leaving behind the life that we'd begun, 
F  C       G          F
I split myself in two.
 C              G
Proud and alone, cold as a stone,
         Am        C              F  
rolling down that hill into the night
         C 
I could see the surprise
         G
and the hurt in your eyes
        E                       Am
there behind each flashing city light.
F                  C  G  F              C
Love needs a heart.  And I need to find 
G   F              G            F    C
if love needs a heart like mine.
 Am
Love won't come near me.
Em7
She don't even hear me.
C                            D7
She walks by my vacancy sign.
F                  C G  F                 C  G
Love needs a heart,    trusting and blind.
F            G         Am   C  G  F
I wish that heart was mine.
C                 G
Proud and alone, cold as a stone,
     Am           C                F
I'm afraid to believe the things I feel.
       C
I can cry with the best;
       G
I can laugh with the rest,
    E                          Am
but I'm never sure when it's real.
        F             C         G    F   
And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done.
C      G  F            D7/F#        E/G#
But apart from all that I   hope to find,
             F                  G         Am
where's the heart that's been looking for mine?
F         G           Fsus2  C/E  Dm7  C#
I hope it finds me in time.
F                   C  
Love needs a heart.
G   F              C
And I need to find
G   F            G          F    C
if love needs a heart like mine.
