Laleh – Hide away
CG Don't tell me not to leave Am Right before I go F You don’t even know C What your asking me to do G Don't tell me honey please Am I have made a choice F There’s nothing in the world C You can do to change my mind
G Was looking for a place to hide away Am Instead I lost the heart I gave away F Tell me how could love stand a chance again.
(Repeat refrain once)
I must admit that I Been feeling so alone It's what I am It's what I’ve been, what I’ve become
Don't push it we both know I'm falling every time You look at me, like you did When you were mine (oh you where mine)
Was looking for a place to hide away Instead I lost the heart I gave away Tell me how could love stand a chance again
