G                    C                 Em
Tell me what you've seen, or was it a dream
      C
Was I in it
G                 C              Em
Life seems so obscene, Until its over
      C
Who knows

G              A                        C
All I Want is someone who can fill the hole
        Em
In the life I've known
G                    A                           C
In between life and death, when there's nothing left
       Em
Do you want to know

Chorus:
         C
You come in on your own
        Em
And you leave on your own
            C
Forget the lovers you known
          Em
And your friends on their own

Tell me if it's true
That I need you
You are changing
I've seen this road before
Down on this floor
It is hurting me

All I want is someone
Who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you want to know?

Chorus:
You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've known
And your friends on the road
You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've known
And the friends you have told

C   Em                   C         Em
Life, hurting with this hole inside
C   Em                   C         Em
Life, hurting with this hole inside

            C          Em
I am coming in on my own
            C          Em
I am coming in on my own

C   Em                   C        Em
Life, hurting with this hole inside
C   Em                   C         Em
Life, hurting with this hole inside
C     Em                   C         Em
Ohhhhh, hurting with this hole inside
C     Em                   C         Em
Ohhhhh, hurting with this hole inside
C     Em                   C         Em
Ohhhhh, hurting with this hole inside
