Verse 1 chords: (play into riff along with chords if desired)
Her eyes could have only been born of this ocean
Delph blue, longing and weepy they want me so much to want you
All wrapped up beside you and winded, After you've taken me
My mind's roaming free, dozing dazy drifting out this evening
Chorus 1 Chords:
[ ] w/ intro riff
With a verse so sweetly sung
[ ] w/ intro riff
Into a world we've longed to come
[ ] w/ intro riff
But somehow we are not one
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
And all her lavender meadows so fragrant and beautiful
And at your dining room table the sun falls on my face so warm
And all the turbulent highways I've taken to get here
To you in this home, in this moment, for that I am grateful
Chorus 2: (use chorus 1 chords)
Though this house feels like an old lost song
That calls for me to play along
Somehow I don't belong
Bridge Chords:
[ ] w/ intro riff
The night lit by moon, the day sun
[ ] w/ intro riff
Ooh baby I'm wondering how come?
[ ] w/ intro riff
The light is nearly gone
Solo interlude: [D G5] x23 w/ intro riff
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Her soul could have only been born of a wild oak
So far reaching and swaying and free but stands stoically alone
When the skies come apart she leans over so helpless and cowering
Until the storms come to cease and somehow she's the only one standing
Chorus 3: (use chorus 1 chords)
And though we've grown so close my love
And though these nights we've spent so many of
A part of me is numb
Bridge Chords:
Her eyes look up to me, so open and true
Our window's in perfect clear view
But somehow I can't see through
Outro: [D G5] x4 w/ intro riff
