Fm                                   D# Cm  C#
I wake up lonely with love at my side
I wake up lonely and I don’t know why
I meet the morning on his way back home
It seems he never really works for long

     A#m
But here
       G#      D#     A#m
In my heart an endless hole
                    G#
No words sooth the night
     D#                A#m
You ring, I’m running home
          G#       D#    A#m
All this love, nowhere to go
                     G#
The dark round your light

Chorus:
     D#                G#
You ring, I’m running home
                     Fm
You ring, I’m running
                       G#
You ring, I’m running home
                      Fm
You ring, I’m running
A#m
And I'm the one
C#
The only one
Or someone

I took the life and soul from every dream
Until it sucked the life and soul from me

But here, where I go
Some town so low
Where night whips the tide
You ring, I’m running home
All this time, it moves so slow
Your kiss never dies

Chorus

C#
Now I’m not trying to hide it
              Fm
Disguise or deny it
                                      F#
Raise a hand and fight what’s part of me
F#
My hammer out beside it
                G#
Puncturing the quiet
G#
Love unwired
               A#m
This is all I need
Now I’m not trying to hide it
             F#
Disguise or deny it
                                        Fm
Raise a hand and fight what’s part of me
My hammer out beside it
                D#
Puncturing the quiet
D#
Love unwired
D#
This is all I need - x2
