D C G Em G
I know the way that I feel about you
Em
(C/G) (G)
I'm never gonna run away

D C G Em G
I never knew the way when I lived without you

D C G
I came to you when no one could hear me

(C) (G) (Em) (D) (D/C) (D/B) (D/A)
I'm sick and weary of being alone

Empty streets and hungry faces

The world's no place when you're on your own
G Em
(Am) (D)
A heart needs a home
D
Some people say that I should forget you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
A better life, they say, if I'd never met you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
