         Am-                  Dm       Am-       Dm  
You stole my heart away and one day you didn't stay
          Am-               Dm       F-    G  
Now I'm sitting in embrace of the lonely night
        Am-               Dm         Am-                  Dm  
Torn away from you. I don't know what must be truth
         Am-            Dm      F-    G  
What do I have to do to return your light?
Rain is Ffalling down on my Gway and I Fturn around to see your Gface
Chorus 1:
          Am-           Dm  
Can you tell me why our love is gone from the hearts?
(GCan you tell me why our love is fading?)
         Am-           Dm  
Can you tell me why we can't begin from the start?
(GCan you tell me why we keep on waiting?)
FCan you tell me why this sorrow will live in my mind?
(GCan you tell me why this sorrow is coming?)
        Am-          Dm          Am-          Dm      Am-            Dm      F-   
Standing on this way I feel I’ve gone astray. Asking my fate is my soul with 
Gyou?
       Am-             Dm         Am-          Dm  
Will this ever heal? And this feeling is so real
        Am-                 Dm     F-   G  
To be where you are near I am longing…Oh!
And I Frun away from my Gfate. I am Ftrying to keep the Gflame

Only when I sleep I can see you in my dreams here, in heaven rays we've met love
       F-                G             Am  
Morning comes to me and I see you disappear
So I Frun away from my Gfate. I am Ftrying to keep the flGame
Chorus 1
Chorus 2: 
           Am-           Dm  
Can you tell me why my candle fades without you?
(GCan you tell me why my candle is fading?)
          Am-            Dm  
Can you tell me why this dream cannot be true?
(GCan you tell me why this dream is ending?)
FCan you tell me why our feelings are misunderstood?
(GCan you tell me why our feelings remain?)
