[Intro]

D   F#m   Em   G   A7


[Verse 1]

D
These are the hands of a tired man
F#m
This is the old man's shroud
Em
These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
G                         A7
Staring at the maddening crowd
D
This is the face of a teenage mother
F#m
This is the child she bears
Em
This is the soul of her broken lover
G                              A7
Searching for the smiles they shared
D
These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
F#m
And in his book of punished love
Em
You see his eyes

You see no surprise...
G                        A7
Waiting for a lie that's told


[Chorus]

   G                           Bm       A
Everybody hits you with this feeling, nobody seems to understand
        G                                   Bm        A
You've got to stop your searching for the meaning of love
                    Cadd9
(wasting your life away)


[Verse 2]

D
These are the dreams of a sleeping father
F#m
And in his long lost days
Em
He sees a child...

He sees his eyes...
G                          A7
Waiting for the price he's paid
D
These are the tears of a fallen idol
F#m
And in his smile of shattered love
Em
You see his eyes...

You see no surprise...
G                        A7
You just see lights then realise


[Chorus]

   G                           Bm       A
Everybody hits you with this feeling, nobody seems to understand
        G                                   Bm        A
You've got to stop your searching for the meaning of love
                    Cadd9
(wasting your life away)


[Bridge]

              Bm                           A        F#m               Em
Oh here with you, there's no one here like you, and no one moves like you
                     G
Nobody touches like you, nobody moves like you
       Em                      G                  A7
But everybody hits you, and everybody knocks you down
