Bm
Your precious love - that means so much

will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
G F#
What I want to say - but my words just fail

Bm
Is that I need you so I can't help myself

Like a hungry child - I just help myself
G F# F#aug
And when I'm all full up - I got out to play
Bm
Aw! Huh!

Bm
Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning

Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
G F#
In your tranquil shadow - I try and follow

Bm
I hear your distant shoe clicks

To the midnight beat -

I feel trapped in sorrow

In this imagery
G F# F#aug
But that's how I am and why I need you so
Bm
Aw! Huh!

Bm

F#7 F#7aug

It's just that I need something solid in mine

Believe me baby!

Bm
You precious love - it means so much

Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
G F#
What I want to say but my words just fail

Bm
I hear your distant shoe clicks

To the midnight beat

I'm feeling trapped in sorrow

In this imagery

But that's how I am

And why I need you so
Bm
Aw! Huh!

Bm (instrumental)

Bm
If the sky fell from above

I said who's your precious love?

If the sky fell from above

I said who's your precious love?

If the sky fell from above

Buddy, who's your precious love?
Bm
Huh!
