[INTRO]
D


[VERSE 1]
D         A
When past lovers have left you down
D                           A
Did you think I'd place the crown upon your head?
D              A             F#m
Do you think I bury the dead with my love
D             A
And when past lovers have left you down?
D                    A
What makes you think I stand all alone
D             A
In my grief I fell into your heart
F#m                   A
With my love, with my love


[CHORUS]
    C#                      A
And when in days I dream of you
    C#                          A
And night time hardly holds the key
     C#           A
When I am still believing
                  F#m                A
In what can never be, what can never be


[VERSE 2]
D                     A
You know that I could wallow in your charms
D                    A
Just like when I'm a baby in your arms
D                   A                  F#m
You know that I was blinded by the sun in my eyes
              A
With no compromising on your side
D             A
Well, I can't love you anymore
D                       A
Not knowing that you're always outside
D                  A
That you're always out there smiling through
F#m                         A
It's not you, it's not like you


[CHORUS]
    C#                      A
And when in days I dream of you
    C#                          A
And night time hardly holds the key
     C#           A
When I am still believing
                  F#m                A
In what can never be, what can never be


[VERSE 3]
D               A
You know that I need you like my life
D          A
Did you realize your latest dream?
D                 A
Is it always only rivers that I'll steal?
F#m                   A
With my love, with my love
F#m                   A
With my love, with my love
