Standard (EADGBE)

I look at you and see

My life that might have been.

Your face just ghostly in the smoke.

 They're setting fire to the cornfields

  +4

As you're taking me home.

The smell of burning fields

Will now mean you and here.

This is where I want to be.

 This is what I need.

 This is where I want to be.

 This is what I need.

 This is where I want to be,

But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting.

 The thrill and the hurting.

I know that this will never be mine.

I want you as the dream,

Not the reality.

That clumsy goodbye-kiss could fool me,

 But I'm looking back over my shoulder

 At you, happy without me.

(Repeat chorus)

This is where I want to be.

This is what I need.

This is where I want to be.

This is what I need.

This is where I want to be,

But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting

Will never be mine.

The thrill and the hurting,

It will never be mine.

It can never be.

The thrill and the hurting
