This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

>From the other side of the Touch Me With Your Love single.

Play it with a capo at the second fret (in A) to be in key with the CD.

been sitting so high on this pe - de - stal

no need to tell me if I might feel if I were to fall

coz you dont know how hard it is to cry

ever since you have said good bye

you cant feel this and not a little strong

you cant feel this but not a little wrong

how you gonna know all the answers when you dont know how

to question it

and you dont know all the questions yet

and theres a look in your eye of which we never speak

will it make you too strong, am I gonna feel so weak

well i'm not the same as you

and I dont want the things you do

and all that preaching never let anyone know

you cannot reap what you cannot sow

you cannot reap what you cannot sow

and they never had the patience to let it be

sometimes Ive waited years for what I cannot see

it must be them, not the whole world that lies

to neither do I wanna have to say goodbye

you cant feel this and not a little strong

you cant feel that but not a little wrong

how am I gonna know all the answers I you dont know how to question it

and I dont know all the questions yet

and theres a look in your eye of which we never speak

will it make me too strong, are you gonna feel so weak

well i'm not the same as you

and I dont have the things you do

and all this preaching never let anyone know

you cannot reap what you cannot sow

you cannot reap what you cannot sow

h is hammer-on

p is pull-off
