C                   G
Games, changes and fears
               Dm
When will they go from here
When will they stop
                C                   G
I believe that fate has brought us here
                   Dm
And we should be together babe
But we're not

F                      Em
I play it off bit I'm dreaming of you
Dm                         G
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin'

Chorus:
                  C
I try to say goodbye and I choke
              G
Try to walk away but I stumble
                 Dm
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
           F
My world crumbles when you are not near
     C
Goodbye and I choke
              G
Try to walk away and I stumble
                 Dm
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
           F
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

Chorus

D#             Gm
Here is my confession
                  D#
May I be your possession?
                 Dm
Boy I need your touch
                      A#7
Your love kisses and such
                     Am
With all my might I try
                   Dm
But this I can't deny
   D
Deny

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin''

Chorus:
   G#                C#
I try to say good - bye and I choke
             G#
Try to walk away but I stumble
                D#m
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
           F#                   G#
My world crumbles when you are not near
     C#
Goodbye and I choke
              G#
Try to walk away but I stumble
                D#m
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
          F#                    G#
My world crumbles when you are not near

    C#
Goodbye and I choke
              G#
Try to walk away but I stumble
                D#m
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
           F#                  G#
My world crumbles when you are not near
