 I'm  sitting here inside the strangest place
 And  Time is racing by
 I've  been way out here for a month or more
 Tonight  I'm wondering why
 You  try to understand the things  that I feel
 Maybe  this time I'll find a way  to explain  it
 And  there was a dream deep  inside my head
 It  only seemed like it's breaking  the thread
 That  holds me to you
 Still  you have never wanted  to change me
 But  darlin I know
 Thou  we're far apart  the signal  is strong
 This  helpless heart will always  belong to you
 Only  to you  no one  but you
 This  power takes me from the place I belong
 To  where only the strong get through
 You've  got to keep on believing or you'll lose your way
 It  slips right out on you
 Though  there are days the light can flicker  or fade
 Here  in this place tonight a fire  is burning
 Cause  there was a dream
 Deep  inside my head
 It  only seemed like it's breaking  the thread
 That  holds me to you
 Still  you have never wanted  to change me
 But  darlin I know
 Thou  we're far apart  the signal  is strong
 This  helpless heart will always  belong to you
 Only  to you  no one  but you

I[B]'m sitting here inside the strangest place

A[Ebm]nd Time is racing by

I[B]'ve been way out here for a month or more

T[Ebm]onight I'm wondering why

Y[Abm]ou try to understand the th[E]ings that I feel

M[Abm]aybe this time I'll find a wa[E]y to explai[F#]n it

A[B]nd there was a dream de[F#]ep inside my hea[B]d

I[F#]t only seemed like it's brea[Abm]king the thread

T[E]hat holds me to you

S[B]till you have never wa[E]nted to change me

B[B]ut darlin I know

T[F#]hou we're far apart  [Abm]  the sign[E]al is strong

T[B]his helpless heart will alw[E]ays belong to you[B]

O[E]nly to yo[B]u no [E]one but you [B]

T[B]his power takes me from the place I belong

T[Ebm]o where only the strong get through

Y[B]ou've got to keep on believing or you'll lose your way

I[Ebm]t slips right out on you

T[Abm]hough there are days the light can fli[E]cker or fade

H[Abm]ere in this place tonight a fi[E]re is bur[F#]ning

C[B]ause there was a dream

D[F#]eep inside my he[B]ad

I[F#]t only seemed like it's brea[Abm]king the thread

T[E]hat holds me to you

S[B]till you have never wa[E]nted to change me

B[B]ut darlin I know

T[F#]hou we're far apart  [Abm]  the sign[E]al is strong

T[B]his helpless heart will alw[E]ays belong to you[Abm]

O[E]nly to yo[B]u no [E]one but you [B]
