A            Bm
I'm running out of time
    A                 Bm
I'm out of step and closing down
     A               Bm
And never sleep for wanting hours
    A               Bm       A
The empty hours of greed and uselessly
   Bm               A
Always the need to feel again
     Bm             A                  Bm
The real belief of something more than mockery
   A             Bm                 A
If only I could fill my heart with love
