VERSE:
     Am             G               C
I've hardly been outside my room in days
     Am              G                        C
'Cos I don't feel as I deserve the sunshine's rays
             Am               G            C
The darkness helped until the whisky wore away
              Am         G                C
It was then I realised a conscience never fails
            Am                  G             C
When you're young you have this image of your life
               Am             G                   C
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife
             Am               G              C
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross
           Am               G               C
And if you happen to you'll wake completely lost
           Am        G       C                F
But I will fight for you, be sure that I will fight
                Am              G   F  G
Until we're the special two once again...


CHORUS:
Am            G                      C              
We could only need each other, we'll bleed together 
    F                 Am              G
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's
               C                                             
When we're the special two
    Am            G                     C            
And we could only see each other, we'll bleed together 
      F                Am              G
These arms will not be taught to need another's
               C                                     
When we're the special two


[Instrumental over these chords]

    Am  G  C  F  Am  G  C


VERSE:
I remember someone old once said to me
That lies will lock you up with truth the only key

But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell
And I couldn't see this place would soon become my hell

Is it better to tell the truth or lie to save you face
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place

I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you but now
Oh, but if by chance you change your mind
You know I will not let you down
'Cos we were the special two, 
And we'll be again......


CHORUS:
We could only need each other, we'll bleed together 
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's
When we're the special two

And we could only see each other, we'll bleed together 
These arms will not be taught to need another's
When we're the special two


BRIDGE:
Dm                  G     Am
I'll step outside my mind's eyes for a minute
                              Dm                         G
And I'll look over me like a doctor looking for disease
        Am
For something that could ease the pain
                    Dm              G
But nothing cures the hurt you
           E                        F
You bring all by yourself
         G               C      G
Just remembering, just remembering how we were....

I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now

Chorus
And we will only need each other
We'll bleed together our hands will not be taught

And we could only see each other
We'll breathe together, these arms will not be taught
To need another's
