>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.

You can't believe you still want her
      
  F#m              
  A              
  B
after all the years of knowing her so well

  E

All the same you'd willingly consign yourself

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.

  E

to a love of hell.       Oh, oh.
