Em               G
Walk across the garden in
     B               B7
the footsteps of my shadow
Em                  G        B  B7
See the lights out no one's home
Em               G
In amongst the statues stare
    B              B7
at nothing in the garden moves
Em       G     B B7
Can you help me?

Chorus:
 Am                C                B
Close my eyes and hold so tightly scared
of what the morning brings
 Am            C            B
Waiting for tomorrow never comes
Am              C             B
Deep inside the empty feeling all
the night time leaves me
   G    F#       F  B
Three imaginary boys

Slipping through the door hear my heart
beats in the hallway
Echoes round and round inside my head
Drifting up the stairs I see
the steps behind me disappearing
Can you help me?

Chorus:
 Am                C                B
Close my eyes and hold so tightly scared
of what the morning brings
 Am            C            B
Waiting for tomorrow never comes
Am              C             B
Deep inside the empty feeling all
the night time leaves me
   G    F#       F    B          Em
Three imaginary boys sing in my sleep
sweet child the moon will change your mind

See the cracked reflection standing still
before the bedroom mirror
Over my shoulder but no one's there
Whispers in the silence pressing close
behind me pressing close behind

         Em   G B B7
Can you help me?
         Em   G B B7
Can you help me?
