Verse 1
Dm F
She was standing in the dark
Gm riff 1
Waiting in the wings
Dm F Gm
Just around the next dream
Dm F
She was holding all the keys
Gm
To set my heart free
Bb C Dm
Behind the shadows of love
Verse 2
Dm F
From the distance I could see
Gm
Her standing alone
Dm F Gm
Shine like a jewel in the night
Dm F
Hidden from the eyes
Gm
A thief of the soul
Bb C Dm7
Behind the shadows of love
Chorus [with wah-wah]
Am C
Set me on fire with the stories you tell
Em Bb
Drown in an ocean of dreams
Am C
Close to the flame on wings of desire
Em Bb
Nothing’s what it seems
Verse 3
Dm F
She was waiting outside
Gm
With arms open wide
Dm F Gm
Ready to break my heart’s fall
Dm F
Oh the lightening in her eyes
Gm
I learned how to fly
Bb C Dm
Behind the shadows of love
Solo [with wah-wah]
