Capo 3rd fret
Intro: C F C F C F C F

C
Said a whisper last night while I held you,
     F
and I told you that I needed you forever
       C
I told you everything I want to live for,
F
and how we could be
         C
When the words come to me and it's magic you know,
          F
and I find that I'm rhyming away where I go,
           C
and I feel that the wisdom is coming,
       F
and I know...

C
Magic in the way you move 

and every time I tell you that
F
I want to give you something

for something so true,
C
and the way that you can know me

and the way that you can tell me,
F
and you know that I am searchin'

and I'm searchin' for you,
             C 
and the way you're gonna love me when I go up and tell you that
F
I'm gonna need you when I get there,
C
In my dreams, in my futures, in my prayers too,
    F
and like a whisper in the wind
Am
I can see you there,
G         F
Before I cry
Am                            G
It doesn't matter where I'm going
F
tonight...
(silence)              C
You're gonna be there with me.

Interlude: C F C F

C
Took you to the park and 

I tried to tell you something
F
while we're looking at the sun 

as if we're staring at the moon,
C
and I can see the stars,

and the bark on the trees
           F  
I can see the way they move,

and the way they feel
C
When I look into your eyes, 

and I find you there,
F
I can see that it's magic

that's in the air,
          C
and it's something' I do,

and it's something I say,
          F
while the hands on the clock 

they are ticking away
Am
And I feel
G                        F
that I can love you forever,
F  Am                  G
if you just let me have the chance
           F
I'll love you,

forever....
         C F
Be with me
C F C F C F

C
I can see you in the mountainside
            F
I can see you in the wind;
                 C
the way that the ocean is flowing when I see the sun
F
setting in the west again
                  C
and everything that I'm goin on though I'm not there
                        F
Oh I'm driving up the road with all my cares,
         C
and my mind is racing a million ways,
           F
I can see that you're...
Am
In my mind today
G                     F
you know that I miss you
F Am                   G
Soon I've got to come back home
F
to see you...
             C F C F C x10
You're my girl
