[Opening]
[C#m]Found myself tied and bounded
[G#m]In this beautiful garden
[A]Alone and disheartened Hmmm
[E]I saw you making [F#m]your way through the trees [A]

[verse 2]
[C#m]Can you tell me your name please?
[G#m]Do you have a place to be?
[A]Oh could you tell me? Hmmm
[E]I wish that you could [F#m]be right next to me [A]

[verse 3]
And [A]I know my [C#m]heart beats
[B]When I am feeling all you heat
[B]Radiating over me
[A]I want to hold [C#m]your [B]hand [B]

[verse 4]
But this is my fate[E]
Don’t smile on me [G#]light on me[A]
Don’t call my name [A]
cause I don’t wanna fall at all[E]
Please don’t make me [G#]put up all these walls[A]

[verse 5]
You know that I can’t[E]
Show you me [G#]give you me[A]
Once again I [A]put on a mask so you won’t [C#m]see
How devastating [G#m]I am underneath[A]
But [A]I still want you

[verse 6]
[C#m]In this garden of ours
[G#m]Saw a beautiful flower
[A]I wanted to give ya Hmmm
Once [E]I am brave enough to take off this mask[A]

[verse 7]
But I [A]know I must [C#m]hide
[B]Can’t show you who I really am
[B]Afraid that you won’t understand
[A]How bad [C#m]I am [B]inside[B]

[verse 8]
Now I’m torn apart [E]
Will you fade? I’m so afraid[A]
That you will leave me once [A]more in the very end[E]
So I’ll put on a mask to see you again[A]

[verse 9]
All that I can do[E]
On planet earth this universe
Is to plant a flower that resembles you
And live my life the [G#m]way you wanted me [A]to
But I still want you [C#m] [G#m] [A]
I still want you [C#m] [G#m] [A]

[verse 10]
And maybe back then[E]
Even if [G#]the chance was slim[A]
If I was brave [A]enough to show you who I am[E]
Would everything be [G#]different once again?[A]

[verse 11]
I’m drowning in tears[E]
Recklessly [G#]helplessly[A]
Looking at the broken mask [A]in front of [C#m]me
I’m all alone [G#m]fallen in defeat[A]

[Closing]
[A]And I still want you
[E] [G#] [A]But I still want you
[E] [G#] [A]But I still want you
[C#m] [G#m] [A]I still want you
