[Verse 1]
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that’s made out of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes…
[Chorus]
F A# D C
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
F G A A# C F
But when we meet it seems I can’t let go
F A# D C A# * C
Every time you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower
* = With this played over the rhythm between the chords
after «flower»

Tell me why, when I scream there’s no reply

[Chorus]
F A# D C
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
F G A A# C F
But when we meet it seems I can’t let go
F A# D C A# * C
Every time you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower
D C F
Fading like a rose…
G D C F
Fading like a rose…
G D C F
Beaten by the storm
G A —>(keep going)
Talking to myself, getting washed by the rain,
it’s such a cold cold town
Where the D, C, F and G chords are muffled slightly.
And the chords used are these:

C: 8 10 10 — — —
F: — 8 10 10 — —
G: — 10 12 12 — —

(This sounds ok, but it’s probably not how he plays it)
