F#m
Girls
         D
They come and they go
      F#m
They kiss
    D
Come and they go
      F#m
Like breeze
          E
Brushing my cheek
     C#
Like pain
Like the tears on my face

Girls
They come and they go
Like spirits
They vanish at dawn
My heart
Suspended in time
Like you
Vanish like tears in the rain

Chorus:
F#
Girls
                 B
They take their loves away
      C#
Like spirits

Living so far away

Girls
                B
Pretending to break down and cry

Girls
            A#m
Whispering wind

We used to be so happy
Remember, remember
So happy
I never knew

How lonely

How lonely

Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
They come and they go
Like spirits
Brushing my cheek
Like pain
Like the tears on my face

Chorus:
Girls
They take their loves away
Like spirits
Living so far away
Girls
Pretending to break down and cry
Girls
Whispering wind
What are they giving away

We used to be so happy
Remember, remember
So happy
I never knew
How lonely
How lonely
How lonely I could feel
Girls
