F#                       G#m       C#             F#
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips

A sweet and tender kiss
F#                      G#m    C#                F#
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring
F#       G#m          C#
Someone calling your name
B                Bbm
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
G#m                             C#
Didn't you think you were worth anything

F#                G#m   C#            F#
Millions of us in love, promises made good
         G#m       C#
Your own flesh and blood
F#               G#m    C#               F#
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
F#            G#m         C#
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
B                                 Bbm
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
G#m                     C#
Didn't you think anyone loved you
F#                                   G#m    C#           F#
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
F#                                   G#m                   C#
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
