  Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

[Verse]
             Em                        Am7
  There are times in the still of the night
          Em                   Am
  When I don't think I'll get over you
        F                 G
  But I got no choice — I must
             Em                      Am7
  There are times when I need a new light
            Em              Am
  When your darkness has dissolved
            F              G
  And I can see — but only just
F                  C                      Dm
  You'll always be here with me, you're a ghost and I've been cursed
F                  C                   Dm           G
  But if you were exorcised, it would only make it worse

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb            Bb                 F                   Dm
  A demon or angel — it doesn't matter all that much
Eb              Bb                     F                G
  I toss and I turn every night and I try to feel your touch
               G7
  And I can't stop wondering, I can't stop wondering

[Chorus]
C                  G/B            Am
  What part of my body hurts the most?
Dm                 Am            F                 C/G  G
  What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
C                  G/B             Am                          Dm
  What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
                        F               G
  Is this the way that it's supposed to be?
Dm                                C
  What part of my body hurts the most?
                           F       G                   C

[Bridge]
            Dm           Dm/C              G/B          Am
  Is it my arms? Always reaching out, but you're never there
            Dm                        Dm/B              Am
  Is it my legs? Running after your image as it soon disappears
            Dm                        F            G              Am
  Is it my lips? I can trace all the kisses that I missed in the night
            Dm                                             Eb
  Is it my eyes? I can still see a vision of you but it's out of my sight
                 A
  You're always out of my sight
            A7
  And I'll never get away from
                       D
  Never get away from you

[Chorus]
D                  A/C#           Bm
  What part of my body hurts the most?
Em                Bm             G                 D/A  A
  What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
D                  A/C#            Bm                          Em
  What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
                        G               A
  Is this the way that it's supposed to be?
Em                                D
  What part of my body hurts the most?
                           G       A              D
  Come a little bit closer — come here now, lets see
