You burned my heart with a flickering torch
         Bm         C
I had a dream that no one else could see
             Am        D  C D C
You gave me love for free

Hell I'm glad you got out but, but I miss you

I've had a hole in my heart for so long
I've learned to fake it and just smile along
Down on the street, those men are all the same
I need a love, not games, not games
