Am G D
Listen as the wind blows, from across the great divide
Am G D
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
Am G D
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
F Am D
would I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?
F Em Am
And I would be the one
C
to hold you down
F
kiss you so hard
F Em G
I'll take your breath away,
Am
and after I'd
C
wipe away the tears,
F G Am
just close your eyes dear
Am G D
Am G D
Through this would I've stumbled, so many times betrayed
Am G D
trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved,
Am G D
you speak to me in riddles , you speak to me in rhymes
F Am D
my body aches to breathe your breath, your words keep me alive
F Em Am
And I would be the one
C
to hold you down
F
kiss you so hard
F Em G
I'll take your breath away,
Am
and after I'd
C
wipe away the tears
F G Am
just close your eyes dear.
Am G D x3
Am G D
Into this night I wander, it's morning that I dread
Am G D
another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread
Am G D
ohhh -into the sea of waking dreams, I follow without pride
F Am D
nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied.
F Em Am
And I would be the one
C
to hold you down
F
kiss you so hard
F Em G
I'll take your breath away,
Am
and after I'd
C
wipe away the tears
F G F
just close your eyes dear
Am
I'll hold you down
C
kiss you so hard
F Em G
I'll take your breath away,
Am
and after I'd
C
wipe away the tears
Am Em
just close your eyes.
(for many of the D chords I throw in some Dsus4 and Dsus2 when playing the D
-same with Am for Amsus2
-same with C for Cmaj7
especially towards the end)
