E                      B/E
I stumble in the night.
                          A
Never really knew what it would've been like.
A/B                B                E   A/E
You're no longer there to break my fall.
     E                 B/E
The heartache over you.
                            A
I gave it everything but I couldn't get through.
  A/B
I never saw the signs.
                                           E
You're the last to know when love is blind.

E                     B/E
All the tears and the turbulent years
        A                  B
When I would not wait for no one.
E                     B/E
I didn't stop, take a look at myself
     A                A/B
And see me losing you.

Chorus:
A/B                     A
When the lonely heart breaks
                     F#m7
It's the one that forsakes,
           B             E  Esus4
It's the dream that we stole.
E                    A
And I'm missing you more,
                       F#m7
And the fire that will roar,
           B          E  Esus4
There's a hole in my soul.
 E                A
For you it's goodbye
                   F#m7
And for me it's to cry,
      B            E    E7sus4
For whom the bell tolls.

Seen you in a magazine
A picture at a party where you shouldn't have been
Hanging on the arm of someone else
I'm still in love with you
Won't you come back to your little boy blue
I've come to feel inside
This precious love was never mine

Now I know but a little too late
That I could not live without you
In the dark or the broad daylight
I promise I'll be there

Chorus:
When the lonely heart breaks,
it's the one that forsakes
It's the dream that we stole
And I'm missing you more than
the fire that will roar
A hole in my soul
For you it's good-bye, for me it's to cry
For whom the bell tolls

Now I know there'll be times like this
When I couldn't reach out to no one
Am I never gonna find someone
who knows me like you do
Are you leaving me a helpless child
When it took so long to save me
fight the Devil and the deep blue sea
I'll follow you anywhere, I promise I'll be there

Chorus:
When the lonely heart breaks,
it's the one that forsakes
It's the dream that we stole
And I'm missing you more than
the fire that will roar
There's a hole in my soul
For you it's good-bye, for me it's to cry
For whom the bell tolls

When the lonely heart breaks,
it's the one that forsakes
It's the dream that we stole
And I'm missing you more than
the fire that will roar
There's a hole in my soul
