Cm
Hold me tight
           Gm
This is a lonely night
          Dm       D#
And I've hurt you baby
        A#          F
Because you are my light
Cm
Make me strong
               Gm
Just like you make me weak
           D#                   F
When your hands reach out for me
               D
Even in your sleep

Chorus:
Gm            D7
I'll soon be gone now
D#  A#/D    A#  F/A
Forever not yours
Gm           D7
It won't be long now
D#  A#/D    A#  F/A
Forever not yours

Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more
Than the bad ones do
The days were high

And the nights were deep
And I miss you baby
I miss you baby

Chorus

I'll soon be gone now
It won't be long now
Forever not, forever not yours

Chorus - x3
