F
Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how you’re doing
      Bb                         F
It’s been a long time since we spoke
C                              dm
Last time I was there you had music in the air
    gm                       C
We listened till the stereo broke
   F    
I told you I believed you it’s not really true
   Bb                         F
I only want to see you come alive
C                                  dm                                         
Winter’s come and gone and there’s flowers on the lawn
gm                       C
I miss you coming up my drive


::Pre-Chorus::
                am                  Bb
You’d tell me different if I ever lost my way
                am                   Bb
You’d tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
                gm                             
You’d tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
            C
And you’d always be careful and kind


::Chorus::
                Bb          C      dm
If you want to know what’s on my mind
        Bb        C               F
Let me be some help to you this time
F   C/E          dm                              am
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
gm                                  Bb            C
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
                Bb          C        dm        
If you want to know what’s on my mind

F
Up here the days last forever it seems
      Bb                    F
The sunlight caresses your face
  C                    dm
You can hear the dogs howling at night
        gm                  C
You’ll think you’re in the holiest place
      F 
I’ve always played it careful now maybe I was wrong
  Bb                           F
I think of you as fragile and young
 C                             dm
I have seen the darkness come over your face
gm                        C
Felt the poison of your tongue

You’re alone in your place and there’s a look on your face
