Oh, dear.
See what you lost when you left this [F#m] world, [B] this sweet [E] old world.
What you lost when you left [B] this [F#m] world, this sweet [B] old world.
[E] Breath from your [F#m] own lips, the [B] touch of [E] fevered hips, a sweet [F#m] and tender [B] kiss.
Sound [E]
of a [F#m] midnight train, [B]
wearing [B] [E] someone's rain, someone [F#m] calling your [B]
name.

Somebody's soul, [G#m]
cradle in your [A] arms, didn't you think you were [B] worth anything?

[E] Looking for [F#m] some truth, [B] [Em] dancing [B] with no [E] shoes, the beat, [F#m] the rhythm [B] of blues.
The [A] pounding of your heart, strong, [G#m] together with another one, [A] didn't you think anyone [B] [F#m] loved [G#m] you?
