[NC] She says, “I’m getting that [C] lonely sinking [F] feeling,
you [G] know what I mean?”
With his [G] hand on her back he’s [F] thinking,
“Where does [C] that leave me?”
“Just when I think I’ve un- [C7] covered the secret
to [F] peace and tranquili- [G7] ty
that [G] lonely sinking [F] feeling creeps [C] up on me.”
[NC] He says, “I’m seeing those [C] doubt filled
questioning [F] eyes
and I can’t be- [G] lieve it’s true.”
With her head in her hands she [F] sighs,
“It’s [C] me, not you.”
“Just when I thought that I’d dis- [C7] covered the joy
of [F] loving one so com- [G7] pletely
that [G] lonely sinking [F] feeling creeps [C] up on me.” [NC]
[Bb] Here in this [F] silent room we wait [C] on ancient ritu- [Am] al.
[Dm] Staring at our [A] hearts
as if they were [G] two caged ani- [C] mals.

[Dm] will I [A] be the first found [G] bleeding on the [C] floor?
