BI'm sitting here inside the strangest place
And Time is racing D#mby
BI've been way out here for a month or more
Tonight I'm wondering D#mwhy
G#mYou try to understand the Ethings that I feel
G#mMaybe this time I'll find a Eway to expF#lain it
BAnd there was a dream F#deep inside my Bhead
F#It only seemed like it's brG#meaking the thread
That Eholds me to you
BStill you have never Ewanted to change me
BBut darlin I know
F#Thou we're far apart    G#mthe sEignal is strong
BThis helpless heart will aElways belong to Byou
EOnly to Byou Eno one but Byou
BThis power takes me from the place I belong
To where only the strong get tD#mhrough
BYou've got to keep on believing or you'll lose your way
It slips right out on D#myou
G#mThough there are days the light can fElicker or fade
G#mHere in this place tonight a Efire is F#burning
Cause Bthere was a dream
F#Deep inside my Bhead
F#It only seemed like it's brG#meaking the thread
That Eholds me to you
BStill you have never Ewanted to change me
BBut darlin I know
F#Thou we're far apart    G#mthe sEignal is strong
BThis helpless heart will aElways belong to G#myou
EOnly to Byou Eno one but Byou
