[C#]
How long since I spent a whole night in a [Fm] twin bed with a [F#]
straight jill?
warm, [G#] more [C#] than right.
[C#] And how long since I gave into dark nights and let go [F#] my soul to the place where [G#]
[C#] it longs to be?
[Fm] All of your history has little to do with your [F#] pain.
[B] You made me a mystery with violence filling [G#] in [F#] the veins.
How long since I spent a whole night in a [Fm] twin bed with a [F#]

_ _ _ How long since I spent a whole night in a [Fm] twin bed with a [F#]
straight jill?
_ _ It's warm, _ _ [G#] more [C#] than right.

_ _ _ _ [C#] And how long since I gave into dark nights and let go [F#] my soul _ _ _ to the place where _ [G#]

[Fm] _ All of your history has little to do with your [F#] _ pain. _
[B] You made me a mystery with _ violence filling [G#] in [F#] the veins. _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked [Fm] [F#] out a rose _ _ _ from the bouquet _ [G#] in [C#] our home garden.
[C] _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _
You [C#] lay down beside me again and I watched [F#] the rose _ _ _ bloom and peel up _
[G#] [C#] as it fell.
_ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] I sank and I slept in the twilight with only one [F#] care. _ _ _
[G#] [B] To know that when day broke and I awoke that you'd [G#] still [F#] be there, you'd still [C#] be _ there. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ That was for once a path _ [Fm] slowly unending, [F#] but I _ _ like a sweet dream _ _
[G#] [C#] only.
_ _ _ [C] _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess [F#] I knew _ _ _ what you called _ me [Fm] [C#] to you.
_ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] You spoke not a sentence and took not a _ footstep [F#] beyond. _ _ _
[G#m] Our two [B] days together, _ which seemingly soon would [G#] be [F#] gone, _ _ soon would [C#] be gone.
_ Don't _ _ _ _ _ _
_ tell me of love _ everlasting and love that's [F#] heavy. _ _ _ _
I don't. _ _ _
[G#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _
Just [C#] tell me of passionate [Fm] _ strangers who rescue [F#] each other _ _ _ from a lifetime. _ _ _
[Fm] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _
[Fm] Cause if love means forever _ expecting _ a thing in [F#] return, _ _ _ then I [B] hope I'd be given _ _ another whole [G#] lifetime.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Cause you gave to me your soul, many things didn't make me [F#] wonder _ _ _ how they could [C#] be alone.
_ _ [F#] _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] And I gave you only my dark eyes which melt in [F#] your soul _ _ _ in a place where [G#] I'm [C#] not alone. _ _
