F#m
These are my hands, but what can they give me?
These are my eyes, but they cannot see
D
These are my arms,
but they don't know tenderness
            C#7
And I must confess that
Bm7                    C#7
I am usually drawn to sadness
     Bm7                          C#
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me

Chorus:
                  F#m
But love tried to welcome me
        D
But my soul drew back
          F#m
Guilty of lust and sin
               D
Love tried to take me in

These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow
This is my voice, but it's telling lies
I know how to laugh, but I don't know happiness
And I must confess
Instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter,
but still

Chorus

And I must confess, instead of spring,
it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter,
but still

Chorus:
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me
(Love tried to welcome me)
But my soul drew back
(Guilty of lust and sin)
I was covered with dust, covered with sorrow
(Love tried to take me in) Covered

[Outro]
Still, love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
(Covered with dust and sin)
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me
(Love tried to welcome me)
Love tried to welcome me
(But my soul drew back)
But my soul drew back
(Guilty of lust and sin)
I was covered with sadness
(Love tried to take me in)
Love tried to welcome me
