[A]
[E]
[Bm] [A]
[E]
Listen [Bm] as the wind [A] blows
From [C#m] [E] across the great divide
Voices [Em] trapped [Bm] in [A] yearning
[C#m] Memories trapped [A] in [E] time
The [Bm] night is my [A] companion
[E] And solitude my guide
[A]
[Em] Would I spend [Bm] forever here
[Am] And not be [E] satisfied
And [G] I [D] would be [B] the one
To hold [D] you down
[G] Kissing so hard
I'll take [D] your breath [G] away
And after [Bm] that
Wipe [A] away [D] the tears
[G] Just close [F#m] your [Bm] eyes, dear
[A] Through
[B] this world [A] I've stumbled
[E] So many times betrayed
Trying [B] to find an honest [E] word
To fight the truth and slay
Oh, [Bm] you speak to me [A] in riddle
[E] And you speak to me in rhymes
[G] My body aches [Bm] to breathe your breath
[E] Your words keep me alive
[G] And I [F#m] would be [Bm] the one
To hold [D] you down
[G] Kissing so hard
[Em] I'll take [F#m] your breath [G] away
And after [Bm] that
Wipe [D] away the tears
[G] Just close [F#m] your [B] eyes,
[A] [E]
dear
[B]
Through [A] [E]
[Bm]
[A] [E]
[Bm] this night [A] I'm longer
[E] This morning let out breath
[Bm] Another day [A] I'm no ring around
[E] Path I fear to tread
Or [Bm] into the sea [A] of waking [E] dreams
I follow without pride
[G] If nothing stands [Bm] between us here
[E] Then I will be denied
[G] And [Bm] I would be the one
To hold [D] you down
[G] Kissing so hard
[Em] I'll take your [D] [G] breath away
And [Bm] after that
[A] Wipe away the tears
[G] Just close [F#m]
[Em] your eyes, [G] dear
I'll [Bm] hold you down
[D] Kissing so hard
[Em] I'll [F#m] take your breath [G] away
[Em] And [Bm] after that
[D] Wipe away the tears
[G] Just close [D] your eyes, dear
[F#m] [Bm]
[F#m] [Bm]
