Dm
We're damaged people
 Cm      Dm
Drawn together
    G               F           C/E
By subtleties that we are not aware of

Disturbed souls, playing out forever
These games that we once thought
we would be scared of

Chorus:
G#                G
When you're in my arms
                 Cm
The world makes sense
                G#
There is no pretense
             A#  G#
And you're crying
                   G
When you're by my side
              Cm
There is no defense
             G#
I forget to sense
      G
I'm dying

We're damaged people, praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us

Depraved souls, trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

Chorus:
When I feel the warmth of your very soul
I forget I'm cold and crying
When your lips touch mine and I lose control
I forget I'm old and dying
