If You Were A Stone Chords by Ron Pope

_ _ If you were a stone, _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the _ rain
_ And [Fm] turn you to sand _ as time slips [Db] away _
_ _ If [Ab] you were a tree, _ _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the earth
_ _ _ Kludging [Fm] your roots _ as you reach _ [Ab] _ skyward
I _ _ _ _ _ _ am a metaphor _ [Eb] for all the things I couldn't say
_ [Fm] _ It's never easy, then it [Db] hurts _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Like scratching _ diamonds, I [Eb] have tried to find my way to you
_ [Fm] _ But we're both moving in _ [Db] reverse _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] And I wish that we could both [Eb] find
A simple way just to make it by
But [Fm] right now I'm alright, if you're [Db] just fine
_ _ If you were [Ab] a _ stone, _ then I'd [Eb] be the _ rain
_ And turn [Fm] you to sand _ as time slips [Db] away _
_ _ If you [Ab] were a tree, _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the earth
_ _ _ Kludging [Fm] your roots _ as you reach [Db] skyward _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Some nights you're a photograph _ [Eb] _ fading in my memory
_ _ [Fm] _ And some days I feel you on [Db] my skin
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ We're trading _ silence, there [Eb] are words that seem to steal our breath
[Fm] _ _
And I just dream about [Ab] your lips
_ _ _ _ _ And I wish that we could both [Eb] find
A simple way just to make it by
But _ [Fm] right now I'm alright, if you're [Db] just fine
_ If [Ab] you were a _ stone, _ then I'd [Eb] be the _ rain
_ And turn [Fm] you to sand _ as time slips [Db] _ away
_ If [Ab] you were a tree, _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the _ earth
_ _ Kludging [Fm] your _ roots as you reach [Db] skyward _
_ _ _ [Ab] We count the _ stars, _ my hands [Eb] in your leaves
_ _ That [Fm] hold my breath, _ till we both [Db] feel the steam _
_ [Ab] If you were a stone, _ _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the rain
_ And turn you [Fm] to sand as _ time [Db] slips away
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] I will wait, I will wait, I will wait [Eb] for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait [F] for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait [Db] for you
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] I will wait, I will wait, I will wait [Eb] for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait [Fm] for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait [Ab] for _ you
_ _ If you were a _ star, _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the rain
And _ _ turn [Fm] you to sand _ as time [Db] slips away
_ _ _ If you [Ab] were a tree, _ _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the earth
_ _ _ [Fm] Kludging your roots _ as you reach _ [Db] skyward
_ _ If you [Ab] were a _ stone, _ _ then I'd [Eb] be the rain
_ And turn [Fm] you to sand _ as time [Db] slips away _ _
