Intro
B D#m C#m E F#7
[Verse 1]
B
These are the hands of a tired man
D#m
This is the old man's shroud
C#m
These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
E F#7
Staring at the maddening crowd
B
This is the face of a teenage mother
D#m
This is the child she bears
C#m
This is the soul of her broken lover
E F#7
Searching for the smiles they shared
B
These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
D#m
And in his book of punished love
C#m
You see his eyes
You see no surprise...
E F#7
Waiting for a lie that's told
[Chorus]
E G#m F#
Everybody hits you with this feeling, nobody seems to understand
E G#m F#
You've got to stop your searching for the meaning of love
Cadd9
(wasting your life away)
[Verse 2]
B
These are the dreams of a sleeping father
D#m
And in his long lost days
C#m
He sees a child...
He sees his eyes...
E F#7
Waiting for the price he's paid
B
These are the tears of a fallen idol
D#m
And in his smile of shattered love
C#m
You see his eyes...
You see no surprise...
E F#7
You just see lights then realise
[Chorus]
E G#m F#
Everybody hits you with this feeling, nobody seems to understand
E G#m F#
You've got to stop your searching for the meaning of love
Cadd9
(wasting your life away)
[Bridge]
G#m F# D#m C#m
Oh here with you, there's no one here like you, and no one moves like you
E
Nobody touches like you, nobody moves like you
C#m E F#7
But everybody hits you, and everybody knocks you down
