Darling, what is it you're doing with that hammer to my heart E Fsus2
You tell me you don't know, ah, but there you are again E
You tell me you don't know So take another breath, open your eyes

I've got trust in nothing, see, I lost it by and by But I've got something shining
somewhere, honey, I dream on the sly That you'll come back home (repeat intro/
