It was dAmark and I was Cover
Until you kGissed my lips and you Dmsaved me
My hAmands, they're sCtrong

To stAmand in your aCrms 
without fGalling to your fGeet
[Pre-chorus]
But there's a sFide to you that I Dmnever knew, never knew
All the thAmings you'd say, they were neAmver true, never true
And the gFames you'd play, you would Galways win, always win
[Chorus]
But I set fAmire to the rAm/BainAm  
Watched it pGour as I touched your G/AfaceG  
Well, it Dmburned while I cried
'Cause I hDmeard it scFreaming out your Amname, Gyour name
[Verse 2]
