[Bridge]
     A            
With love we sleep
     A                       
With doubt the vicious circle
A              
Turns and burns

Without you oh I cannot live
A7          D               
Forgive the yearning burning
A D            G                    
I believe it's time too real to feel

So touch me ■  now touch me now touch me now
