[D] I [Bm] have hardly been [A] outside my room [D] in days
Cos [Bm] I don't feel that [A] I deserve the [D] sunshine's rays
The darkness held [C#m] until the whiskey wore away
And it [Bm] was then I [A] realised the conscience [D] never fades
[Bm] When you're young you [A] have this image [D] of your life
That [Bm] you'll be [A] scrupulous and one day even [D] make a wife
[G] And you'll make boundaries [A] that you'd never [D] dream to cross
Then [Bm] if you happen to, [A] you wake [D] completely lost
But I [G] will fight [A] for you
[Bm] Be sure that I will find you, we're the special two
[A] Once [G] again
[Bm] And we will only [A] need each other, [D] we'll breathe together
[G] Our hands will not [Bm] be torn, need [A] not nurse
[D] We're the special two
And [Bm] we could only [A] see each other, [D] we'll breathe together
[G] These arms will not [Bm] be torn, to [A] need another's
[D] Cos we're the special two
[Bm] [A] [D]
[G] [Bm] [A] [D]
[Bm] I remember [A] someone old [D] once said to me
[Bm] That lies will lock you [A] up, with truth the [D] only key
But [Bm] I was comfortable [A] and warm [D] inside my shell
And [Bm] couldn't stay, this [A] place could soon become [D] my hell
So is it better [Bm] to tell a lie [A] to save [D] their face?
Well I guess [Bm] the answer is, [A] don't do it [D] in the first place
I know [Bm] I'm not deserving [A] of your trust from [D] you right now
But [Bm] if I chance to [A] change your mind, you [D] know I will not let [G] you down
Cos we [Bm] were special two
[A] And we'll be again
[Bm] And we [A] will only need each [D] other, we'll breathe [G] together
Our hands will [Bm] not be torn, [A] to hold another's
[D] We're the special two
[Bm] And we could [A] only see each [D] other, we'll breathe [G] together
These arms will [Bm] not be torn, to [A] need another's
[G] Cos we're the special [A] two
I [Em] step outside my [A] mind's eyes [Bm] for a minute
[Em] And I look over me [A] like a doctor looking for [B] disease
Or something that could ease the pain
But [Em] nothing cures the hurt [A] you
You bring [G] on by yourself
Just remembering, [A] just remembering
[D] How we were
[A] [Bm] And we will [A] only need each other, [D] we'll breathe together
[G] Our hands will not [Bm] be torn, to hold [A] another's
