Roxette - In My Own Way

in my own way – written by per gessle
from charm school album 2011
the sensitive ballad is a rediscovered gem from 1984 , when the dream of international
recognition was still just a dream .

i gathered a mountain
F
an ocean of teardrops
Dm
a castle of break ups
G
to hide myself in

ive waited a lifetime
F
for someone to find me
Dm
for someone to reach me
G
somewhere to begin

Am F C G

C
ive painted the sunsets
F
the dawnings ive missed you
Dm
the hours ive kissed you
G
to keep my heart alive
C
its the heat of your breathing
F
the way you are whispering

the urge of your wanting
G
i cant leave you behind

Am F C G
were no strangers i can tell by the waves in the night
