|  x2120x (not really an Eb, but I don't know what else to call it)
Walk  across the garden  in the footsteps  of my shadow
See  the lights out no  one's home
In  amongst the statues  stare at nothing  in the garden  moves
Can  you help  me?
Close  my eyes and hold  so tightly scared  of what the morning brings
Waiting  for tomorrow  never comes
Deep  inside the empty  feeling all  the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys
Slipping  through the door  hear my heart  beats in the hallway
Echoes  round and round  inside my head
Drifting  up the stairs  I see the steps  behind me disappearing
 Can you help  me?
Close  my eyes and hold  so tightly scared  of what the morning brings
Waiting  for tomorrow  never comes
Deep  inside the empty  feeling all  the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys  sing  in my sleep  sweet child the moon will change your mind
See  the cracked reflection  standing still  before the bedroom  mirror
Over  my shoulder  but no one's  there
Whispers  in the silence  pressing close  behind me pressing  close behind
Can  you help  me?
Can  you help  me?
 (Repeat, fading out)
