intro--A#-F-A#-F
A#                                   F
I never dreamed I could cry so hard
Gm                     F
That ain't like a man
            D#          F     A# C  D
I could fly like a bird some days
           D#                            F Fsus4 F
Had a place where I could land

A#                                          F
I could have sworn we were all locked in
Gm                          F
Ain't that what you said
            D#                  F      A# C D 
I never knew it could hurt so      bad
                 D#                      F Fsus4 F
When the power of love is dead

       Gm 
But giving into the nighttime
        D#
Ain't no cure for the pain
                 C
You gotta wade into the water
                 F
You gotta learn to live again

F7   D 
And reach out for her healing hands
G                          A           D
Reach out for her healing hands
                Bm                     Em
There's a light, where the darkness ends
                 A                        D
Touch me now and let me see again
               Gm               A                     D
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands

PIANO SOLO FOR SECOND ROUND {Gm-D#-F-A#-Gm-D#....}LISTEN TO THE RECORDING AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT

I never knew love like poison
That burned like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes

I never knew sleep so restless
Empty arms so cold
That's not the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the spell that I was sold
