I still care, yeah I still care Guitar solo: (Bass and lead guitar only) (Full band) Verse 3: (Keyboards and bass only) And the smoke curls like a river to some forgotten land Floating abandoned the mystery concealed Like the moonlit shadows on the snow covered field (Guitars enter at *) Where the wind knows no mercy, and she howls, and she reels Chorus: But I'm tired... of pretending Yes I'm tired... of pretending That I... I still care, yes I still care Trumpet solo:
