Spectre of Love
N/C Am F C E
I never knew what made me do it

I just remember it was wrong

I've questioned why I put you through it

I should have wrapped you up and kept you safe
E A
Instead I turned my back on you

If I could only speak your language

You'd know that you're the only one

And only you can save me now
