Why sing a lonely song? The whole world knows that love goes wrong.
Fm                            Gm
Why loose a heart that isn't broken?
          Eb                  Gm
It isn't broken, it can't be broken.
Dm
Life's just a show for free, come along and watch with me!
    Gm                     Am
The only sins are words unspoken,
          F            Am
Words unspoken, never spoken.

Sweet things come and go. Give me shame, I'll give you wow.
   Fm                     Gm
To live for love isn't so easy!
         Eb                Gm
It isn't easy, it won't be easy!
Dm
How all good men try, look around and wonder why
Gm                             Am
Can they shape this world to please me,
           F                      Am
Can they please me, should they please me?

  Eb                         Dm
I follow but maybe you'll correct me
                   Am
I wish you'd never met me
                     Dm
For I am your gentle man
  Eb                             Dm
I follow and while you watch and wonder
                  Am
I call my world a sundown
                   Dm Am Dm Am
And show you who I am

Send me a gentle dream of love so strange it's never seen
     Fm                       Gm
And proof how such a love can happen,
       Eb              Gm
It can happen, make it happen!
Dm
Fine things tumble down, fade away without a sound
    Gm                      Am
But hope must never end or slacken,
        F             Am
Never slacken, never slacken ...

And show you who I am
