[Chorus]
C G Am
What part of my body hurts the most?
Dm Am F C/G G
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
C G Am Dm
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
F G
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?
Dm C
What part of my body hurts the most?
F G C
Come a little bit closer — come here now, and let's see

[Verse]
Em Am
There are times in the still of the night
Em Am
When I don't think I'll get over you
F G
But I got no choice — I must
Em Am
There are times when I need a new light
Em Am
When your darkness has dissolved
F G
And I can see — but only just
F C Dm
You'll always be here with me, you're a ghost and I've been cursed
F C Dm G
But if you were exorcised, it would only make it worse
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb Bb F Dm
A demon or angel — it doesn't matter all that much
Eb Bb F G
I toss and I turn every night and I try to feel your touch
G7
And I can't stop wondering
I can't stop wondering
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Dm Dm/C G/B Am
Is it my arms? Always reaching out, but you're never there
Dm Dm/B Am
Is it my legs? Running after your image as it soon disappears
Dm F G Am
Is it my lips? I can trace all the kisses that I missed in the night
Dm Eb
Is it my eyes? I can still see a vision of you but it's out of my sight
A
You're always out of my sight
A7
And I'll never get away from
D
Never get away from you
