E                   C#m
Did I disappoint you, or let you down?
A                                       B
Should I be feeling guilty, or let the judges frown?
E                     C#m
'Cos I saw the end, before we'd begun
       G#m                          A         B
Yes I saw you were blinded, and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won't stop there
I am here for you, if you'd only care

      E
You touched my heart, you touched my soul,
     C#m
You changed my life and all my goals,
       A
And love is blind and that I knew when,
               B
My heart was blinded by you.
      E
I've kissed your lips and held your head,
 C#m
Shared your dreams and shared your bed,
   G#m
I know you well, I know your smell,
A             B         E
I've been, addicted to you.

Chorus:
 E             C#m
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
A
You have been the one,
          B
you have been the one for me.
E              C#m
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend,
A
You have been the one,
          B                 E
you have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake
You can't break my spirit it's my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile
I've watched you sleeping for a while
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We've had our doubts but now we're fine
And I love you, I swear that's true
I cannot live without you

Chorus

        A     B                 C#m
And I still, hold your hand in mine,
     G#m
in mine when I'm asleep
A           C#m             G#m
And I will, bear my soul in time,
           A               B
when I'm kneeling at your feet.

Chorus

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
