[Verse 1]
Bm    D/F#  G     D5     Bm      D/F#   G      D5
Love,           I get so lost ...some - times,
Bm         D/F#  G   D5       Bm        D/F#     G      D5
Days pass,           and this emptiness fills my heart,
Bm              D/F#  G         D5    Bm          D/F#  G     D5
    When I want to    run away,     I drive off...in my car,
Bm              D/F#  G         D5     Bm                D/F# G    D5
    But which - ever  way I go, I come back to the place you  are

              And the grand fa - cade,         so soon will burn,
A   Asus4 A             Bm7      Gsus2
              Without a noise,          without my pride,

Solid contribution, thanks! I have one suggestion, the A to Dsus2 in the chorus, I play A to Asus4 (A4) instead. Same basic sound, but easier to just hammer the B instead of switching chords.

Excellent Chart! On the Pre-Chorus, try Same Chords A-Asus4 by playing a D on the 9th Fret, then Dsus4- Bm9-G
