7    7   7   7    7   7 -6b -7  6   -6
Show me the mean-ing of be-ing lone-ly

So man-y words for the bro-ken heart

7      7  -6b 7  -6b 6  7   -7  -6
It’s hard to see in a crim-son love

Walk with me, and may-be

Nights of light so soon be-come

7    -6b  7  -6b -6     7   -7  -6
Wild and free I could feel the sun

Your ev-ry wish will be done

They tell me

They nev-er say for-ev-er gaze

7    -6b  7   -6b 6  7   -7   -6
Guil-ty roads to an end-less love
