Verse 1:
                 G                                       
There's a kind of emptiness that can fill you.
                   G                                 D
There's a kind of hunger that can eat you up.
                 G                                        D
There's a cold and darker side of the moonlight.
                      A7                  D
And there's a lonely side of love

Chorus:
                  G                     A7                          D
With you here, baby I am strong.  No sign of weakness.
               G                        A7                   D
With you gone, baby I am hanging by a thread.

Verse:
                G                                           D
There'sa certain kind of pain that can numb you.
                    G                                 D
There's a type of freedom that can tie you down.
          G                                          D
Sometimes the unexplained can define you.
                A7                                               D
And sometimes the silence is the only sound.
