B I woke up thinking you were still here E My hands shaking with regret B I've held this dream for such a long long time G#m And I wanna get up E To the rhythm of a wild, F# to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a rolling drum I saw you standing on the corner I saw you standing on your own And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a drum Chorus: B When I fall asleep I can see your face E What I lost in you I will not replace G#m And I could run away, I could let them down E F# B But I will remember your light Your light, it follows me in darkness I'm trying hard, but I can't win And I've played the victim for a long, long time And I wanna grow up From the rhythm of a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart It leads just like a river runs Tonight, I sit over the parkway The summer's gone and I'm alone And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close And I wanna get up To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart It beats, been beating since you've gone Chorus: When I fall asleep, I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember your light When I fall asleep, I can see your face (I don't walk alone) What I lost in you I will not replace (No, I don't walk alone) And I could run away, I could let them down And I know you're gone, but still I will remember your light (I will remember) (I will remember) (I will remember) (I will remember) And if you see me in the darkness I hope you know I'm not alone I carry you with every breath I take And I won't let up, I won't let up, oh Until the wind is gone You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsB E F# G#m Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
