Chords for Ever and Always - Andrew Osenga, from the album "Leonard the Lonely Astronaut"

_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[E] _ _ She was raised along [C#m] the salty [A] sea
_ [E] Nursed on hope and fairy [C#m] tales
_ [E] _ _ I was just as [C#m] lonesome as could [E] be
My notebooks and no one [C#m] else
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ Then [C#m] one day [E] she caught my eye
[B] And beauty [C#m] was a language [E] that I could not speak
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] She [B] brought [E] the sea [A] to a _ [E] _ [B] landlocked boy
_ [C#m] _
[D#] Held [A] my _ heart, [F#] _
taught [E] me [B] joy _
[A] And I'm hers complete, [B] _ ever and [E] always
_ _ [C#m] Ever _ [A] _
_ [E] and always
[C#m] _ [A] I _ [E] don't know a lot, but that never [C#m] stopped my mouth
[E] _ _ A soapbox full of [C#m] injured pride
_ [E] She had the confidence of grace to [C#m] hear me [F#] out
[E] And kindly gulped it with a [C#m]
smile
[A] See, [B] _ I [C#m] was trapped [E] in [A] black and white
_ _ [B] Her beauty [C#m] spoke of colors [E] I had [A] never seen
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] She [G#m] _
brought [E] the stars [A] to a _
[E] _ _ [B] landlocked boy
_ [C#m] _
Held [E] my _ heart, _ [F#m]
taught [E] me [B] joy
_ [A] And I'm hers completely, [B] ever and [E] always
_ _ _ Love _ _ _ _ is [D#m] motion, _ love is action
[A] _ Love is choosing [B] someone other than yourself
_ [C#m] Love is freedom, [G#m] _
rest and [A] passion
The heights of pain [B] and healing
Tower like a mountain, pop above everyone else
[F#m] And I'm [E] yours _ [B] _ _ completely _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] She _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] brought [E] the _ stars [A] to a [E] _ _ [B] landlocked boy
_ [C#m] _
[B] Held my [A] _ heart, _ [F#] _
taught [E] me [B] _ joy _
[C#m] She [B] brought [E] the _ stars [A] to a _ [E] _ [B] landlocked boy
_ [C#m] _ [B] Held [A] my _ _ heart, [F#m] taught [E] me _ [B] _
joy
[A] And I'm hers completely, [B] _
ever and [E] _ always
_ [C#m] _ _
_ [A] Ever [E] and always
