[This is the live version played by Eric Clapton in Yokohama (Japan), 24 November 1999]
INTRO = VERSE
VERSE
F/A Am
And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
F/A Am
Between truth and necessary pain?
F/A Am
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
F/A Am
That things will be all right again?
F/A Am
What words do I use to try and explain
F/A Am
To those who've witnessed all my tears?
F/A Am
And what does it mean to know all these things
F/A Am
When love's been wasted all these years,
Dm7 Em Am Am
When love's been wasted all these years.
CHORUS
C F
Standing in the shadows
Dm7 G7
With my heart right in my hand,
C Am
Removed from all the people
Dm7 G7
Who could never understand.
BRIDGE
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
F/A Am
A pilgrim for your love.
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
F/A Am
A pilgrim for your love.
VERSE
F/A Am
It's like living in a nightmare,
F/A Am
Like looking in the blackest hole,
F/A Am
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
F/A Am
Completly out of control.
F/A Am
Now where have I been all these years
F/A Am
And how come I just couldn't see?
F/A Am
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
Dm7 Em Am Am
I was a pilgrim for your love.
CHORUS
C F
Standing in the shadows
Dm7 G7
With my heart right in my hand,
C Am
Removed from all the people
Dm7 G7
Who could never understand.
C F
Standing in the shadows
Dm7 G7
With my heart right in my hand,
C Am
Removed from all the people
Dm7 G7
Who could never understand.
BRIDGE
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
F/A Am
A pilgrim for your love.
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
F/A Am
A pilgrim for your love.
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
F/A Am
A pilgrim for your love.
F/A Am
I was a pilgrim for your love,
F/A Am
A pilgrim for your love.
