    Em     D                         Em 
I?m walking through streets that are dead 
Em      D                       Em 
Walking, walking with you in my head 
   Em          D        B           | Am break | Am7 break| 
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired 
                   Em 
And the clouds are weeping 
 
 
Em   D                    Em 
Did I hear someone tell a lie? 
Em   D                       Em 
Did I hear someone?s distant cry? 
  Em           D             B                Am    
I spoke like a child; you destroyed me with a smile 
            Em 
While I was sleeping 
 
 
G A                    G A                 Em 
      I?m sick of love      but I?m in the thick of it 
G A                      G A                 Em 
      This kind of love       I?m so sick of it 
 
 
Em    D                    Em 
I see, I see lovers in the meadow 
Em    D                         Em 
I see, I see silhouettes in the window 
  Em                      D             B               | Am Am7 | 
I watch them ?til they?re gone and they leave me hanging on 
     Em 
To a shadow 
 
 
G A                    G A            Em 
    I?m sick of love;      I hear the clock tick 
G A                    G A     Em 
    This kind of love;     I?m love sick

Em       D                        Em 
Sometimes the silence can be like thunder 
Em       D                             Em 
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder 
Em                D       B            | Am Am7 | 
Could you ever be true? I think of you 
      Em 
And I wonder 
 
 
G A                    G A                  Em 
    I?m sick of love;      I wish I?d never met you 
G A                    G A                  Em 
    I?m sick of love;      I?m trying to forget you 
 
 
Em                      D     
Just don?t know what to do 
C                   B             Em9 
I?d give anything to be with you
