F#: 244322 A: x02220 B/A: x0444x [Intro] N.C. (horns) D Bm (x3) [Verse 1]
D Bm In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
D C Bm I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen.
D Bm This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
D G9 I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes. [Verse 2]
D Bm I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D C Bm As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
D Bm Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
D G9 A9 But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
