standard tuning
[Am]Listen as the wind blows, fro[G]m across the great [D]divide
Voices t[Am]rapped in yearning, mem[G]ories trapped[D] in time
[Am]the night is my compan[G]ion, and solitude my g[D]uide
[F]would I spend forever he[Am]re, and not be[D] satisfied?
An[F]d I would [Em]be the o[Am]ne
to hold you do[C]wn
kiss you so[F] hard
I'll [F]take your b[Em]reath aw[G]ay,
and after [Am]I'd
wipe a[C]way the tears,
j[F]ust close yo[G]ur eyes [Am]dear
[Am] [G] [D]
Th[Am]rough this would I've stumble[G]d, so many t[D]imes betrayed
trying to fi[Am]nd an honest word to [G]find the truth ens[D]laved,
you [Am]speak to me in riddles[G] , you speak to me i[D]n rhymes
my bod[F]y aches to br[Am]eathe your breath, your w[D]ords keep me alive
[F]And I woul[Em]d be th[Am]e one
to hold you [C]down
kiss yo[F]u so hard
I'[F]ll take you[Em]r breath[G] away,
and after [Am]I'd
wipe a[C]way the tears
j[F]ust close yo[G]ur eyes [Am]dear.
Am G D x3
[Am]Into this night I wander, it[G]'s morning [D]that I dread
[Am]another day of knowing of th[G]e path I fear to [D]tread
ohhh [Am]-into the sea of waking dream[G]s, I follow without pri[D]de
n[F]othing stands between us[Am] here and I won't be denied[D].
An[F]d I would [Em]be the o[Am]ne
to hold you d[C]own
kiss you [F]so hard
[F]I'll take y[Em]our brea[G]th away,
and after [Am]I'd
wipe aw[C]ay the tears
just[F] close your [G]eyes dea[F]r
I'll hold you[Am] down
kiss you so[C] hard
I'll [F]take your b[Em]reath aw[G]ay,
and after[Am] I'd
wipe away t[C]he tears
just c[Am]lose your [Em]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)
