BbAnd as I lie awake,
one prayer within me burning.
D#And there's no price on what
 you hold till it's Ggone,
then it keeps moving Don.
Where is my Gheart?
You Cknow I will be Dwaiting to 
Gbe a Dpart of Gyou
and Dnever feel the Gpain.
CHow can you Dsay to me Gthat I

CI left the only life I Amhad 
Dwith Gyou.
DThe only Glove.
No Cuse in me Dpretending
to be Ga part of you
and Dnever the heart of Gme.

 Amhome to me.
And only lonely knows.
BbYou see my open arms.
You know my flame is burning.
D#But I'm too blind to see the 
end has Gbegun.
And it keeps Dmoving on.
The only Glove.

INTRO---

G C

I can relate the story of my

life

D. G

No brighter hope, no stronger

emotion.

D G

And I believed I could die

over you.

How you could ever

break down and never see me

through,

through my darkest night.

And as I lie awake,

one prayer within me burning.

And there's no price on what

you hold till it's gone,

then it keeps moving on.

Where is my heart?

C D

You know I will be waiting to

G D G

be a part of you

D G

and never feel the pain.

C D G

How can you say to me that I

should go on living?

C Am

I left the only life I had

D G

with you.

D G

The only love.

C D

No use in me pretending

to be a part of you

D G

and never the heart of me.

C D G

How can you say to me that I

should go on living?

C Am

I left the only life I had

D G Em

with, with you.

G C D

With you.

G C

So we agree to let each other

go.

D G

No long goodbye.

Just your way and my way.

D G

And I can stand how you cried

to be free.

High as the wind blows,

but not enough to bring you

home to me.

And only lonely knows.

You see my open arms.

You know my flame is burning.

But I'm too blind to see the

end has begun.

And it keeps moving on.

The only love.

C D

No use in me pretending

G D G

to be a part of you

D G

and you the heart of me.

C D

How can you say to me that I

should go on living?

C Am

I left the only life I had

with you.

The only love.

C D

No use in me pretending

G D G

to be a part of you

D G

and you the heart of me.

C D

How can you say to me that I

should go on living?

C Am

I left the only life I had

D G

with you.

The only love.

D Em

One love that will not die.

C D

You may be sorry that I built

my world around you.

The only love

Am G

is only you and I.

C D

There will be others who would

leave you as I found you.

The only love.

Em Am Em G

One love that will not die....
