    C - Am - F - F - G (2x)

 

     C                                   - Am

1.       Did I disappoint you            or let you down ?

F                                          - F                  G

    Should I be feeling guilty       or let the judges frown ?

C                                        Am

    'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,

              Em                                          F               G

    yes, I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

             C                               Am

    So I took what's mine by eternal right,

F                                F           G

    took your soul out into the night.

C                                    Am

    It may be over, but it won't stop there,

            Em                             F       G

    I am here for you, if you'd only care.

 

            C

2. You touched my heart you touched my soul.

              Am

    you changed my life and all my goals,

            F

    And love is blind and that I knew when,

F                                     G

    my heart was blinded by (you).

            C

    I've kissed your lips and held your head,

Am

    shared your dreams and shared your bed.

        Em                                               - F                      G            C

    I know you well, I know your smell,       I've been addicted to you.

 

C                                  - Am

    Goodbye my lover,             goodbye my friend,

F                                        - F                    G                       C

    you have been the one,       you have been the one for me.

   C                             - Am

3.      I am a dreamer           but when I wake,

F                                           - F                 G

    you can't break my spirit,        it's my dreams you take.

C                                    - Am

    And as you move on,           remember me,

Em                                       - F              G

    remember us and all we       used to be.

            C                   

    I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile,

           Am                    

    I've watched you sleeping for a while.

         F                                       - F                     G                 

    I'd be the father of your child,      I'd spend a lifetime with (you).

          C

    I know your fears and you know mine,

              Am

    we've had our doubts but now we're fine.

          Em                                           - F                G                 C

    And I love you, I swear that's true,      I cannot live without you.

 

+ CHORUS   (2x)  + C - F - C - G

 

F                   G                         Am        Em

    And I still hold your hand in mine, in mine when I'm asleep.

F                  Am                   Em                       F                      G

    And I will bear my soul in time, when I'm kneeling at your feet.

 

+ CHORUS  (2x)

 

C                               - Am                  - Em                      - F            G

    I'm so hollow, baby,     I'm so hollow,     I'm so, I'm so,    I'm so hollow.

C                               - Am                  - Em                      - F            G

    I'm so hollow, baby,     I'm so hollow,     I'm so, I'm so,    I'm so hollow.
