       E                  D
After all these years tryin’ to set it free
      E                  D
The pain seems to fade but it never leaves
      E                  D                    E       D
The memories haunt me and I wish they’d let me be. Yeah!
   C#m            B      A
I gambled on love 
      C#m         B      A      
and it tore me apart
       C#m      B          A
Be still, be still, be still,

Be still my heart!


     E                                     D
I wasn’t born wise but I learned this much
            E                  D
Though you took all I gave it was never enough
            E                         D                  E      D
There was a time I’d have died for your soul, your strength, your touch
          C#m      B              A
But I’ll leave it behind, 
      C#m              B        A
try to make a new start
       C#m       B         A

          E        D      
My broken heart
               E      
Let the pain fade away!


             A                        B
It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream
       C#m                        A
You lit fire to my soul and you said you’d never leave
      A                B
It’s tearin’ me up, baby, where have you been? 
      

     C#m         B           A
Oh, please, oh please, oh please! 
C#m          B             A

     C#m      B        A
And what this nonsense means. oh, yeah!
