Intro: G 
           G 
He was a stranger to himself 
   G 
A spy in his own camp 
         C             G 
And his money was his health 
      F                    C        G 
All thrown to dust by his very own hand 

Yet his beauty lingered still 
Beyond the draining of the sand 
But greener was the other side of the hill 
Richer was the other man's land 

        C  G       C                   F         G 
But we loved him, loved him just like brothers would 
    C G        C                 F      G 
We loved him, loved him like no others could 
G              C  G        C                F      G   
      And she loved him, loved him like a lover should 

Take good care of an aching heart 
You never can replace it 
You know you're the master of your art 
You realise that when you think it fit 

The orbs of blue are jading away 
No laughter from them dances 
Yet you're bound to remember this one day 
Hazards are risks and risks are chances 

You can run for cover, run for cover like a frightened hare 
Till it's all over, it's all over and there's no one there 
     'Cos you daren't discover, daren't discover that we really care
