The pain seems to fade but it never leaves
      E                  D                    E       D
The memories haunt me and I wish they’d let me be. Yeah!

Though you took all I gave it was never enough

There was a time I’d have died for your soul, your strength, your touch

It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream
       C#m                        A
You lit fire to my soul and you said you’d never leave
      A                B
It’s tearin’ me up, baby, where have you been?


     C#m         B           A
