Intro
E G#m F#m A B7
[Verse 1]
E
These are the hands of a tired man
G#m
This is the old man's shroud
F#m
These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
A B7
Staring at the maddening crowd
E
This is the face of a teenage mother
G#m
This is the child she bears
F#m
This is the soul of her broken lover
A B7
Searching for the smiles they shared
E
These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
G#m
And in his book of punished love
F#m
You see his eyes
You see no surprise...
A B7
Waiting for a lie that's told
[Chorus]
A C#m B
Everybody hits you with this feeling, nobody seems to understand
A C#m B
You've got to stop your searching for the meaning of love
Cadd9
(wasting your life away)
[Verse 2]
E
These are the dreams of a sleeping father
G#m
And in his long lost days
F#m
He sees a child...
He sees his eyes...
A B7
Waiting for the price he's paid
E
These are the tears of a fallen idol
G#m
And in his smile of shattered love
F#m
You see his eyes...
You see no surprise...
A B7
You just see lights then realise
[Chorus]
A C#m B
Everybody hits you with this feeling, nobody seems to understand
A C#m B
You've got to stop your searching for the meaning of love
Cadd9
(wasting your life away)
[Bridge]
C#m B G#m F#m
Oh here with you, there's no one here like you, and no one moves like you
A
Nobody touches like you, nobody moves like you
F#m A B7
But everybody hits you, and everybody knocks you down
