Intro: Am G F G  Am F G C 
 
Verse 1: 
Am                              G 
 The touch of lips the close of eyes  
F                              G 
 They matter more than you surmise  
Am                        F 
 I hide it all in secret boxes 
F         G                    C 
 Until tomorrow when we first meet  
 
Verse 2: 
Am                          G 
 I watch you fade before my eyes  
F                     G 
 I can't take it, but I won't look away 
Am                             F 
 Maybe the fires that feel so cold 
F                G           C 
 They won't completely die away  
 
Chorus: 
Am               G 
 I don't want to, I don't want you 
F         G              C 
 I don't want you to forget 
Am               F 
 I don't want to, I don't want you 
F         G              C 
 I don't want you to forget  
 
Verse 3: 
Am                         G 
 I may not let you see my pain 
F                              G 
 I may not speak hard words in anger 
Am                               F 
 To you maybe it isn't really strange 
F           G            C 
 You being loved by a stranger 
                 Am       G 
I won't give you up just yet 
             F               G 
I will come calling at your door 
Am                       G 
Ours is a home we can't get to anymore  
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 4: 
Am                            G 
 Behind your eyes there is a distance 
F                            G 
 I ask you if you?d like to dance 
Am                     F 
 You mistake me for a healer 
            F              G                 C 
I?m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
