[Em]
There's only need, I love your need
[Am] So much I'm losing me
[Em] I cannot see the reason for the [Am] pain
[G] With hungry [Em]
joy, I'll be your toy
[Am] Just hoping you will play
[Em] Without the hope, my body starts [Am] to fail
[G] Memories [B] fade but the scars still linger
[C] I can't fight, will [Am] I ever again?
[G] [B] But the scars still linger

[A] And I think it too dear
But [E] you choose to take [A] the pain away
[G] Memories fade [B] but the scars still [C] linger
Will [A] I
[G] ever again?
[B] [C] I'll pretend you [Am] can't join
[A] in
