F#6             G#
Walking in the snowy street
F#6          F7
Let me understand
F#6              G#
Drifting down a silent park
F#6             F7
Stumbling over land.
F#6           G#         A#m
Open up your heart to me

Chorus:

A#m             G# Cm G# C#
Show me who you are
C#              F#6      F7
And I would be your slave

Do you sleep in quietude?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No one else that is free
Open up your heart to me

Chorus:
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave

Am                      G#
I don't sit around and wait
Am              G#
I don't give a damn
F#                       A#m
I don't see the point at all
G#7sus4               F#m  A#m
No footprints in the sand

A#m                  G#        Cm G# F#
I bet you laugh out loud at me
F#                     Fm
A chance to strike me down
A#m               G#         Cm G# F#
Give me peace of mind at last
F#               Fm7  A#m
Show me all you are

Chorus:
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave

I don't sit around and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand

I would give you all my love
Nothing else is free

Chorus:
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave
