           G                       
It used to be there were two sets 
  C                 D
of footprints in the sand
               G                 
And there were two silhouettes in 
     C              D
the sunset hand in hand
       C                D         
But now here beside the sea are 
  G   G/F#      C/E
the footprints of three
And I can't find my own among the 
D
directions they're all going
            G                C    
Baby it's alright break this chain
             D
 of love and madness
       G               C          
It's alright take this rain as 
      D
your new address
       C               D

    C               D

                 G               
'cause I've been running all over 
    C               D
creation out of my mind
          G                      
Trying to keep our hearts beating 
   C                 D
together all of the time
      C             D             
Going crazier every day watching 
  G   G/F#       C/E
our love slipping away
'cause you're the only home I've 
                    D
ever wanted and the only light I've 
known
