Intro
E A B
Verse:
E
I would have been here sooner,
B
Your note came yesterday,
A
But, yesterday was crazy;
B
There was much to square away.
E
Then I tried to come this morning,
B
But the old car wouldn't run
A
And the buses run so slowly,
B
There was nothing to be done.
E
But you, you don't need my troubles,
B
I'm here now, anyway,
A
And there's nothing left behind me
B
To say I cannot stay.
E
When I told you that I love you,
B
I said' "Call me anytime",
A
And especially when you need someone
B
When things get out of line"
Chorus
E
And oh, there's a burning in your eyes
A
And the hand you put in mine won't stop trembling.
A
Oh, tell me what you're going through,
E
'Cause all I want to do is be protecting.
E
No! All those shadows on your face,
A
They look so out of place, they should be sunlight.
E
I want to take you when the smile returns
G#m
And keep you from the night
A B E
And wake up to see me in your eyes.
Verse:
E
I don't know how we happened,
B
When we're kept so far apart.
A
There sure are lots worse prisons
B
Than the kind with iron bars;
E
And it almost makes me crazy
B
To see you hurt inside,
A
When you're beautiful and really need
B
To let things open wide.
Chorus
E
And oh, there's a burning in your eyes
A
And the hand you put in mine won't stop trembling.
A
Oh, tell me what you're going through,
E
'Cause all I want to do is be protecting.
E
No! All those shadows on your face,
A
They look so out of place, they should be sunlight.
E
I want to take you when the smile returns
G#m
And keep you from the night
A B E
And wake up to see me in your eyes
E
I want to take you when the smile returns
G#m
And keep you from the night
A B E
And wake up to see me in your eyes.
