C C/E F
May be the hardest thing I've ever done
C/G G#o7 Am
was to walk away from you.
C C/E F
Leaving behind the life that we'd begun,
F C G F
I split myself in two.
C G
Proud and alone, cold as a stone,
Am C F
rolling down that hill into the night
C
I could see the surprise
G
and the hurt in your eyes
E Am
there behind each flashing city light.
F C G F C
Love needs a heart. And I need to find
G F G F C
if love needs a heart like mine.
Am
Love won't come near me.
Em7
She don't even hear me.
C D7
She walks by my vacancy sign.
F C G F C G
Love needs a heart, trusting and blind.
F G Am C G F
I wish that heart was mine.
C G
Proud and alone, cold as a stone,
Am C F
I'm afraid to believe the things I feel.
C
I can cry with the best;
G
I can laugh with the rest,
E Am
but I'm never sure when it's real.
F C G F
And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done.
C G F D7/F# E/G#
But apart from all that I hope to find,
F G Am
where's the heart that's been looking for mine?
F G Fsus2 C/E Dm7 Db
I hope it finds me in time.
F C
Love needs a heart.
G F C
And I need to find
G F G F C
if love needs a heart like mine.
