Intro |  B|  G#m|  E|  G#m|
  BI woke up thinking you were still here.
    G#mMy hands were shaking with regret.
  EI've had this dream for such a long long time 
and I wanna get G#mup, to the rhythm of the wild,E  
to the rhythm of the wild heF#art,
that beats, that beats like a rolling drBum..
I saw you standing on the corner,
    G#mI saw you standing on your own.
  EAnd I get the feeling that it's all a dream,
and I wanna get G#mup to the rhythm of a wildE,
to the rhythm of a wild heF#art,
that beats, that beats like a drum..
When I Bsus4fall aslBeep I can Bsus2see your Bface,

And I could         Emaj7/G#run awG#may, I could lG#sus4et them dG#mown,
but EI will remF#ember your lBight.
Your light it follows me in darkness.
    G#mI'm trying hard but I can't win.
And I've played the vEictim for a long long time,
and I wanna grow G#mup from the rhythm of a young,E  
from the rhythm of a younger hF#eart,
it leads just like a river runs.
  BThat night I sent over the parkway,
    G#msummer's gone and I'm alone..
And I get the feEeling that you're somewhere close,
and I wanna get G#mup to the rhythm of your wildE,
to the rhythm of your wild hF#eart, it beats,
been beating since you're gone..
When I fBsus4all asleBep I can sBsus2ee your fBace,

B G#m E G#m

I woke up thinking you were still here.

G#m

My hands were shaking with regret.

I've had this dream for such a long long time

G#m E

and I wanna get up, to the rhythm of the wild,

to the rhythm of the wild heart,

that beats, that beats like a rolling drum..

I saw you standing on the corner,

G#m

I saw you standing on your own.

And I get the feeling that it's all a dream,

G#m E

and I wanna get up to the rhythm of a wild,

to the rhythm of a wild heart,

that beats, that beats like a drum..

Bsus4 B Bsus2 B

When I fall asleep I can see your face,

Emaj7/G# G#m G#sus4 G#m

what I lost in you I will not replace..

Emaj7/G# G#m G#sus4 G#m

And I could run away, I could let them down,

E F# B

but I will remember your light.

Your light it follows me in darkness.

G#m

I'm trying hard but I can't win.

And I've played the victim for a long long time,

G#m E

and I wanna grow up from the rhythm of a young,

from the rhythm of a younger heart,

it leads just like a river runs.

That night I sent over the parkway,

G#m

summer's gone and I'm alone..

And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close,

G#m E

and I wanna get up to the rhythm of your wild,

to the rhythm of your wild heart, it beats,

been beating since you're gone..

Bsus4 B Bsus2 B

When I fall asleep I can see your face,

Emaj7/G# G#m G#sus4 G#m

what I lost in you I will not replace..

Emaj7/G# G#m G#sus4 G#m

And I could run away, I could let them down,

E F# B

but I will remember your light.

Bsus4 B Bsus2 B

(When I fall asleep) I can see your face,

Emaj7/G# G#m G#sus4 G#m

what I lost in you I will not replace..

Emaj7/G# G#m G#sus4 G#m

And I could run away, I could let them down,

E F#

and know you're gone, know you're gone..

E F# G#m

I still remember your light. Your light..

And if you see me in the darkness,

G#m

I hope you know I'm not alone.

I carry you with every breath I take,

G#m E

and I won't let up, I won't let up,

'til the wind is gone..

B G#m

Till the wind is gone, till the wind is gone.

E G#m E B

End on

Till the wind is gone, till the wind is gone..
