Intro:  Am  G   F   G - F G   (x2) 
 
Am                      G                F                          G           F-G 
I want a cup that overflows with love Although it's not enough to fill my heart 
Am                        G       F                                G          F-G 
I want a barrel full of love Although i know it's not enough to fill my heart 
Am                      G                F                             G    F-G 
I want a river full of love But then i know the holes will still remain 
Am                      G        F                                 G     F-G 
I need an ocean full of love Although i know the holes will still remain 
 
E                                F     E                            F 
   And this swiss-cheese heart knows Only kindness can fill its holes 
E                        F    E            F 
    And love can dry my tears As pain disappears 
 
 
Am        G           F             G 
I need a miracle and not someone's charity 
Am           G                 F            G 
One drop of love from him And my heart's in ecstasy 
    Am            G             F           G 
The high that is sending me Is most likely ending me 
Am        G           F                     G    Am (2 Bars) 
I need a miracle and not someone's charity now

Am          G                   F                 G 
Fill up my heart with love Oh, you'd be amazed at how 
Am          G               F          G 
little i need from him To feel complete here and now 
Am          G                F             G 
Stirring within me Are these feelings i can't ignore 
 
 
Am        G           F             G 
I need a miracle and not someone's charity 
Am           G                 F            G 
One drop of love from him And my heart's in ecstasy 
    Am            G             F           G 
The high that is sending me Is most likely ending me 
Am        G           F                     G    Am (8 Bars) 
I need a miracle and not someone's charity now 
 
F                   G         F                     G 
Anybody's love but his will never fill this space within me 
      F                     G        F                   G 
Now doctor, give me what i need to free my heart from misery 
 
End on Am
