C                                Dm 
Out where the bright lights are glowing 
       Dm7          G7          C 
You're drawn like a moth to a flame 
       Dm7          G7          C 
You laugh while the wine's over-flowing, 
      C          G7          C       G  G/A   G/B 
While I sit and whisper your name 
C              Dm      G     G7      C     G  G/A G/B 
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see 
C      C7 F               C      G7    C 
Four walls too near me, closing in on me 
C                                Dm 
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting 
       Dm7          G7          C 
But my walls have nothing to say 
       Dm7          G7          C 
I'm made for love, not for hating 
     C       G7        C       G  G/A   G/B 
So here where you left me I'll stay 
C              Dm      G     G7      C     G  G/A G/B 
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see 
C      C7 F               C      G7    C 
Four walls too near me, closing in on me 
C                                Dm 
One night with you is like heaven 
       Dm7          G7          C 
And so while I'm walking the floor, 
       Dm7          G7          C 
I'll listen for steps in the hallway 
      C          G7          C       G  G/A   G/B 
And wait for your knock on my door 
C           Dm      G     G7      C     G   G/A G/B 
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see 
C      C7 F               C      G7    C 
Four walls too near me, closing in on me 
C              Dm      G     G7      C     G  G/A G/B 
Four walls to hear me, four walls to see 
C      C7 F               C      G7    C 
Four walls too near me, closing in on me
