The [Dm]memories of you will dis[Bb]appear into the [F]night [C]

[Dm]But I found out there’s [Bb]nowhere to [F] [C]run
[Dm]It’s too easy to [Bb]love and to hate [F] [C]you
[Dm]Oh my healing has [Bb]only [F]begun

[chorus]
[Dm]When you rolled, your heart is [C]hardly [F]beating

[Closing]
[Dm]Every night you trick me into your [Bb]arms
But you never [F]stay, when I [C]awake, no [Dm]
[Dm]Every time I feel your thoughts [Bb]alone
And it’s such a [F]shame you were gone so [C]long

[chorus]
[Dm]When you rolled, your [C]heart is hardly [F]beating
[Dm]But it’s hard to know [C]when you’re [F]young (when you’re young)
[Dm]I’ll never forget [C]loving you [F]sweetly
[Dm]Your sugar still burns on my [F]tongue
[Dm]Your sugar still burns on my [F]tongue
