Standing out here in the rain

The crash, shattering glass, the sirens and pain

It's driving me insane

My heart trembles I call your name
I miss your touch your soft blonde hair
I keep searching for an answer it just ain't there

   And I don't want to live this life
   And I don't want to live this life
   And I don't want to live this life
   E
   Anymore
           
Everywhere I turn, the finger points on me
You'll never understand I'm in misery
'cause baby without you I have no one
Oh, my sweet darling what have I done

   And I don't...


[ G  D  E ] x4


She smiled at me as I held her carefully
Her last words were 'I love you' thought it ser me free
And I can't forget that look on her face
It looked like an angel as she died in my prayers

   And I don't...

   And I don't...

   And I don't...
