E  Amaj7

         E                            Amaj7
>From the shelter of your solitude you see her
        E                               Amaj7
running circles round the emptiness within
        E                             A
and you wonder what it's been like to be her
                      E         Amaj7
as you feel yourself awakening.

           E                                 A
Though she fills her life between with new adventures
            E                               A
there's confusion in her eyes each time you meet
          E                              A
you don't think she's gonna last another winter
                        E           Amaj7
with all the snow she's wading in.

F#m                         B
You can't believe you still want her
      F#m              A              B
after all the years of knowing her so well
E                               F#m
All the same you'd willingly consign yourself
     G#m     C#m      A
to a love of hell.


SOLO


         E                                Amaj7
You will think by now you'd see it in perspective
          E                       A
she's too insecure to ever really change
          E                                     A
you've convinced yourself this time you'll be objective,
                      E             A
you won't need any believin' in.

           E                            A
There's no reason to believe it will be different
            E                                 Amaj7
She's still playing games and running from herself

         E                            A
but you've always thought your love for her could save her
                       E            Amaj7
and that's how you get taken in.

F#m                         B
You can't believe you still want her
      F#m              A              B
after all the years of knowing her so well
E                               F#m
All the same you'd willingly consign yourself
     G#m     C#m    A        E
to a love of hell.       Oh, oh.
