"Spark" by the Wild Colonials
from their album "Fruit of Life"
transcribed by Tara Kennedy (nothingnatural@mail.utexas.edu)

[G]I knew love had to change so I [Am] held your hand more [C] tightly
[G]And when I asked you to leave you [Am] smiled at me [C] politely
[G]Please forgive my grief I [Am] look like I have [C] plenty
[G]And still I asked you for more til I [Am] leave you feeling [C] empty

Chorus
[Am]The spark is gone but the [C] love lives on
[Am]The spark is gone but the [C] love lives on
[Am]The spark is gone but the [C tacet] love lives [G] on

[G]Even though I'm far away I [Am] pull the strings more [C] tightly
[G]And lying in my bed today I [Am] remember I cried for you [C] nightly
[G]Even though my life is long [Am] sometimes in the ??darkest [C] ????
[G]And still I asked you for more til I [Am] leave you feeling [C] empty

repeat chorus

Bridge
[F]??Two continents?? and a [C] rainy day
[Am] couldn't wash the [C] truth away
[F]I wake up calm in the [C] dead of night
[Am]and knew in my heart that [C] this wasn't right
[F]??Two continents?? and a [C] rainy day
[Am]couldn't wash the [C] truth a [G] waaaayyy
