Verse 1:
C#m7/F#                 A/F#
These are my hands, but what can they give me?
C#m7/F#                     C#m/F#
These are my eyes, but they cannot see

These are my arms, but they don't know tenderness
    D(add9)   C#7       Bm7                   C#7
And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness
    Bm7                         C#
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me

This is my voice, but it's telling lies
  C#m/D                    D(add9)    Dmaj7
I know how to laugh, but I don't know happiness
    D(add9)   C#7   Bm7                           C#7
And I must confess, Instead of spring it's always winter
       Bm7                            C#          C#+
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

I was covered with dust and sin
