Life holds no fascination

Without you here with me, each hour's eternity

Since you walked out of my life I'm half crazy day and night 
     G                                     Bm 
And only a lonely heart knows how the heartache, it grows and grows

Till then the walls close in I'm so lost, I'm numbed by your leaving me 
                Am7                  Cm               D 
I sit alone and stare you don't know till you've been there
