[Verse 1]
DShe's a gambler spinning Bmwheels,
A poison victim but look of F#msteel.
The coldest hearts you've ever Gfelt,
The coldest hands you've ever Dheld.
DTaking down, on your Bmway.
A million miles, still no F#mheadway.
As I learn to live Along,
In her mind I'm proud tGo roam.
[Chorus 1]
GShe's elusive and I'm Emawake,         Bm
You're finally real, there's nothing fake.
A mystery now to me and F#myou,
Open my eyes and I'm next to Ayou.
She said my Gdestiny lies in the hands that set me Dfree.
[Verse 2]
DA reckless night, she heaBmrs me breathe,
Cursing the sky at this compF#many.
They lost the wisdom deep insidGe,
When bitterness shows it's sidDe.
DIf it's true, I am doBmomed,
What more is there to hold F#mon to?
A strand of her haiAr is all I own,
A gift to me, this sorrGy soul.
[Chorus 2]
GShe's elusive and I'm Emawake,         Bm
You're finally real, there's nothing fake.
A mystery now to me and F#myou,
Open my eyes and I'm next to Ayou.
She said my Gdestiny lies in the hands that set me Dfree.
[Verse 3]
DSomething says this aBmin't right.
There's more to her than mF#meets the eye.
She comes and goes Aat any time,
Back in my head at anotGher time.
[Chorus 3]
GShe's elusive and I'm Emawake,         Bm
You're finally real, there's nothing fake.
A mystery now to me and F#myou,
Open my eyes and I'm next to Ayou.
She said my Gdestiny lies in the hands that set me Dfree.
