Standard (EADGBE)

You wished you might have failed

 and left it all behind,

 you've got to take it easy on yourself.

 You're searching for your strength

 and wishing on the stars.

 You've got to make it easy for yourself.

Chorus

You're breaking apart at the seams,

 and holding out for the one

 you had before you lost it all.

You're falling apart and it seems

 that all you want is the one

  you had before you lost control.

You're holding out for love,

 keep holding out for love...

You followed all the strings

that lead to better things,

you might be wrong be least you got to try,

to get back to strength,

to nurse you back to health.

You might have lost but at least you know you tried.

Chorus

You're breaking apart at the seams,

and holding out for the one

you had before you lost it all.

You're falling apart and it seems

that all you want is the one

you had before you lost control.

You're holding out for love,

keeping holding out for love...

Special from Russia with love ;)
