Em
My gears they grind
More each day
      Am
And I feel like
                     Em
They're gonna grind away
And the city blocks
They drive me wild
Am
They're never ending
           Em
Mile after mile

Chorus:
        C         Bm       Am
I just don't know what to do
          Em
I'm too afraid to love you

It's heaven on Earth, it's in her embrace
Her gentle touch and her smilin' face
I am just one wishing that I was a pair
With someone, oh, somewhere

Chorus

Am
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
       Em
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think it's here to stay
Am
What more can I do?
'Caus I'm wringing myself dry
      Bm
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eyes

Em
I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid
I just don't know what to do
With myself

Thinking all the time
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Driving me out of my mind
