FDressed in F7black he walks alone, a shadow in the night
BbEach time Dmhe walks by my window can't hold the tears from my eyes
GWe're still so much in love why Ccan't they realize
Chorus:
That every Ftime he looks D#at me I long to feel his lips on mine
I live on Fjust the memory of him caressing me
So D#soft, so Cwarm, so D#soft, so Cwarm
D#They said he was much too wild for Cme
D#They said I didn't know what I was getting myself inCto
D#They said a whole lot of CthingsD#  C  
(verse chords)
But there are some things they could never understand
That a girl can tell by the way a boy holds her hand
Or maybe they thought we were too young to be in love this way
Well I don't care what people say
This girl's love is getting stronger with each passing day
Chorus
So soft, so warm, so soft, so warm
But now he's gone, but now he's gone
I climb the stairs I shut the door I turn the lock
Alone, once more and no one can hear me cry, no one...
