capo iii

G Em Am D G

G Em
i was lost till you were found
Am D
but i never knew how far down
G
i was falling ,
Em C D
before i reached the bottom

G Em
i was cold and you were fire
Am D
and i never knew how the pyre
G
could be burning ,
Em C D
on the edge of the ice field

C D G
and the now chilly california wind ,
C D G
is blowing down our bodies again
Am Em Am G D
and were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand
C Am Em G
oh , i know you belong inside my aching heart
Em Am D Am
and can t you see my faded levis bursting apart?
Em
and don t you hear me crying;
G
oh babe , don t go?
Am
and don t you hear me screaming;
D
how was i to know?

G C
i m in the middle of nowhere ,
D G
near the end of the line
C
but there s a border to somewhere waiting ,
D G
and there s a tankful of time
C D G
oh , give me just another moment , to see the light of the day ,
C D G
and take me to another land where , i don t have to stay

Em D C G
and i m going to need somebody to make me feel like you do
Em D C
and i will receive somebody with open arms , open eyes ,
Am D
open up the sky and let the planet that i love shine through
Em D
for crying out loud ,
G
you know i love you
Em D
for crying out loud ,
G
you know i love you
Em D
for crying out loud ,
C G Em Am G D
you know i love you

G Em
i was damned and you were saved ,
Am D
and i never knew how enslaved ,
G
i was kneeling;
Em C D
in the chains of my master

G Em
i could laugh but you could cry ,
Am D
and i never knew just how high ,
G
i was flying;
Em C D
ah , with you right above me

G C
i m in the middle of nowhere ,
D G
near the end of the line
C
but there s a border to somewhere waiting ,
D G
and there s a tankful of time
C D G
oh give me just another moment , to see the light of the day ,
C D G
and take me to another land where , i don t have to stay
Em D C G
and i m going to need somebody to make me feel like you do
Em D C
and i will receive somebody with open arms , open eyes ,
Am D
open up the sky and let the planet that i love shine through
Em D
for crying out loud ,
G
you know i love you
Em D
for crying out loud ,
G
you know i love you
Em D
for crying out loud ,
C G Em Am G D
you know i love you

G
for taking in the rain when i m feeling so dry ,
Am
for giving me the answers when i m asking you why ,
C D
and my oh my ,
G
for that i thank you

for taking in the sun when i m feeling so cold ,
Am
for giving me a child when my body is old ,
C D
and don t you know ,
G
for that i need you?

for coming to my room when you know i m alone ,
Am
for finding me a highway and driving me home ,
C D
and you got to know ,
G
for that i serve you?

for pulling me away when i m starting to fall ,
Am
for revving me up when i m starting to stall ,
C D
and all in all ,
G
for that i want you

for taking and for giving and for playing the game ,
Am
for praying for my future in the days that remain ,

C D
oh , lord ,
G
for that i hold you
Em
ah , but most of all
D
for crying out loud ,
G
for that i love you
Em
who , but most of all ,
D
for crying out loud ,
G
for that i love you

Em
who , but most of all ,
D
for crying out loud ,
G G Em G Em
for that i love you
Em D
when you re crying out loud ,
C G
you know i love you
