[A] When [C#] she's [F#m] away, lost [A] out at sea,
I could be the [F#m] breeze that fills the sea,
bring her home to me.

[F#m]
I could be the hand [A] that leads her through the darker times.

strength that [A] [D] future's
so for one last [A] try.

[C#m] with my [F#m] heart in my hand.

[B] Think you could feel the way I do?
Is this [F#m] just a [Am] fool's desire?
