Strum
D-DU-UDU
Dressed  in black he walks alone, a shadow  in the night
Each  time he walks by my window can't hold  the tears from my eyes
We're  still so much in love why can't  they realize
 That every time  he looks at me I long to feel his lips on mine
 I live on just  the memory of him caressing me
 So soft,  so warm,  so soft,  so warm
They  said he was much too wild for me
They  said I didn't know what I was getting myself into
They  said a whole lot of  things
 (verse chords)
 But there are some things they could never understand
 That a girl can tell by the way a boy holds her hand
 Or maybe they thought we were too young to be in love this way
 Well I don't care what people say
 This girl's love is getting stronger with each passing day
 So soft, so warm, so soft, so warm
 But now he's gone, but now he's gone
 I climb the stairs I shut the door I turn the lock
 Alone, once more and no one can hear me cry, no one...
