Standard (EADGBE)

May be the hardest thing I've ever done

 was to walk away from you.

Leaving behind the life that we'd begun,

I split myself in two.

 Proud and alone, cold as a stone,

 rolling down that hill into the night

 I could see the surprise

 and the hurt in your eyes

 there behind each flashing city light.

Love needs a heart. And I need to find

if love needs a heart like mine.

 Love won't come near me.

She don't even hear me.

She walks by my vacancy sign.

Love needs a heart, trusting and blind.

I wish that heart was mine.

Proud and alone, cold as a stone,

 I'm afraid to believe the things I feel.

 I can cry with the best;

 I can laugh with the rest,

 but I'm never sure when it's real.

 And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done.

But apart from all that I hope to find,

 where's the heart that's been looking for mine?

I hope it finds me in time.

Love needs a heart.

And I need to find

if love needs a heart like mine.
