LYRICS
Just a bout the (Em7)time the shad ows call,
I un dress my mind and (D)dare you to fol low.
Paint a por trait of my mys ter y.
On ly close my eyes and (D)you are here with me, a (Em7)name less face to think I see, to sit and watch the waves with me
till they’re gone.
A (Em7)heart I’d swear I’d rec og nize is (Gsus2)made out of my own de vic es.
Could I be wrong?
The that I’ve (Em7)tak en
I (Em7)pray is not wast ed.
Have I (D)al read y (Em7)wast ed
my piece of (D)one (Em7)sweet love?
Sleep ness nights you creep in (Em7)side of me,
paint your shad ows on the (D)breath that we share.
You take more than just my san i ty;
you take my rea son (D)not to care.
No (Em7)or di nar y wings I’ll need; the (Gsus2)sky it self will car ry me back to you.
The (Em7)things I dream that I can do.
I’d (Gsus2)o pen up the moon for you.
Just come down soon.
