BJH - Kiev
from Face To Face
 CMy friends it's Fnot what you were famous for
 CBut now the Fwhole world's watching you
 CIf we could Fhelp you then you know we would
 CBut we don't Fknow just what to do 
 CEye to Feye our ways are not the same
 CWe never Ftried to understand
 CBut it could Fpass to each of us you name
 CThen who's the Fone to take the blame 
Ki[C]ev,  A[G]candle with  A[C]flame
You'll never be the Fsame
Our hearts go out to Dmyou
And what you're going Gthrough
They've thrown away your Fpast
Just like an empty Gglass
Into the Ffire 
 CSomeone Fwiser took the Steppe from you
 CI'm sure with Freason it was right
 CBut now it Fseems the whole world's blaming you
 CAnd who's the Fone to put things right 
Ki[C]ev,  A[G]candle with  A[C]flame
You'll never be the Fsame
Our hearts go out to Dmyou
And what you're going Gthrough
They've thrown away your Fpast
Just like an empty Gglass
Into the Ffire 
Ki[C]ev,  A[G]candle with  A[C]flame
You'll never be the Fsame
We all will underDmstand
You're really not to Gblame
They've thrown away your Fpast
Just like an empty Cglass
Into the ffire Kicev
