Verse 4
Bm 
The hurting never ends
Like birthdays and old friends
C 
We forget what is flesh
blood and bone is human
D 
Turning phone lines to airlines
C 
Unwilling to face
D 
The love is found on the inside
C 
not the outside

C 
In my hand I     will hold you
F#m 
And swallow you slowly
G 
As to last me a lifetime
D 
F#m 
Without holding   too tight
C 
I do not want to lose
F#m 
The thrill that it gives me
G 
To look out from my window
D 
F#m 
And scowl at the houses
From my world in the bedroom
C 
F#m 
It's all in my head she read
G 
In her girlfriend's self- help book
F#m 
It's all his own making
C 
A war with himself
F#m 
Like two sides of a wall
G 
That separates two countries
D 
He shuts out the world
F#m 
C 
And wants only to love you
