[A] [E]
[Bm]
[A] [E]
Listen [Bm] as the wind [A] blows [C#m] from [E] across the great divide
Voices [Bm] trapped in [A] yearning, [C#m] memories [A] trapped in [E] time
The [Bm] night is my
[A] companion, [E] and solitude my [A] guide
[Em] Would I spend [Bm] forever here [Am] and not be satisfied?
[E] [G] And I [D] would be [B] the one to hold [D] you down, kiss [G] you so hard
I'll take [D] your breath [G] away, and after [Bm] that
Wipe [D] away [D] the tears, and [G] close [F#m] your [Bm] eyes here
[A] Through
[B] this world I've [A] stumbled, [E] so many times betrayed
Trying [B] to find a [A] last [E] word, fight, truth enslave
[A] Oh, [Bm] you speak to me [A] in riddles, [E] and speak to me in rhymes
[G] My body aches [Bm] to breathe your breath, [E] your words keep me alive
[G] And I [F#m] would be [Bm] the one to hold [D] you down, kiss [G] you so hard
I'll take [F#m] your breath [G] away, and after [Bm] that
Wipe [A] away the [D] tears, and [G] close [F#m] your [Bm] eyes [E] here
[A]
[E]
[B] [A]
[E]
[Bm] [A]
[E] Into [Bm] this night [A] I wander, [E] into morning that I dread
[Bm] Another day of [A] nowhere, a [E] path I fear to tread
Oh, [Bm] I'm into a sea [A] of waking [E] dreams, I follow without pride
[G] If nothing stands [Bm] between us here, [E] then I will be denied
[G] And I [Bm] would be the one to hold you [D] down, kiss [G] you so hard
I'll take [D] your breath [G] away, and [Bm] after that
Wipe [A] away the tears, [G] and close [F#m] your [G] eyes here
I'll hold [Bm] you down, kiss [D] you so hard
I'll [Em] [F#m] take your breath [G] away, and after [Bm] that
Wipe [D] away the tears, [G] and close your eyes here
[D] [F#m] [B] [F#m]
