So why are you holding my hand tonight?

I'm not intending to go far away

I'll leave you messages almost every day.
Em C D Em
And who was I to last forever?

Not in this lifetime, babe,

Some kind of heaven written in your face

Dm E Dm E
So why are you holding my hand tonight?
Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch?
Do my eyes seem to focus on some distant point?
Why do I find it hard to talk too much?
And who was I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace
Not in this lifetime, babe,
but we'll cling together
Some kind of heaven written in your face
F Bb F G5
Am.....
And who was I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace
Not in this lifetime, babe,
but we'll cling together
Some kind of heaven written in your face
....Em......D......Em.....D.. (as above)
Dm E Dm E
So why are you holding my hand tonight?
I'm not intending to go far away
I'm just slipping through to the back room
I'll leave you messages almost every day.
And who am I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace
Not in this lifetime, babe,
but we'll cling together
Some kind of heaven written in your face
Am..........
