Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

  I thought all I needed was to believe


F#        G#            A#m            G#
  Here am I, a lifetime away from you
F#             G#             A#m       G#

    Senseless years thunder by

Millions are willing to give their lives for you

Does nothing live on?

      My hands in the soil, buried in side of myself

I'll go walking in circles
      A#m               G#  
While doubting the very ground beneath me
F#               G#                   A#m  G# 
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
F#        G#             A#m      G#m
  Here am I, a lifetime away from you
F#             G#           A#m       G# 
  The blood of Christ, or a change of heart


My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
