it’s so cold lying here all alone
E E7 A
and i have no holds to hold on you
B B7 E
i assure you i’ll do you no wrong

verse 1
E B7 E
don’t know why but the one i love left me
B7
left me lonely and cold and so weak
E E7 A
and i need someone’s arms to hold me
B B7 E
till i’m strong enough to get back on my feet

verse 2

E B7 E
i haven’t smiled since she left me
B7
cause a smile somehow seems out of place

and i just need two lips to kiss me
B B7 E
then i can smile again and i can show my face
