[Intro]
F# G#m B F# (x2)
[Verse 1]
F# G#m The house can get cold when there's no one to share B F# The sun in the kitchen, the creak on the stairs F# G#m The pictures of friends, crooked blurs on the walls B F# The pot of hydrangea alone in the hall F# G#m You were a breeze idly passing me by B F# Dropped in my lap like a stone from the sky F# G#m When I come home now, you're waiting right there B F# To offer an apple, a plum, or a pear
[Chorus]
B F# So close your eyes valentine B F# Try to sleep some other time B F# Your burden's lying on the ground G#m* B* F# Between our shadows now
[Link]
F# G#m B F# (x4)
B F# B F# B F# G#m* B* F#
[Verse 2]
F# G#m House can get cold when there's no one to share B F# Weight on your conscience, not in your hair F# G#m Walk with me now and we'll seek our reward B F# In the simple contentment that time can afford
[Chorus]
B F# Close your eyes valentine B F# Try to sleep some other time B F# Your burden's lying on the ground G#m* B* F# Between our shadows now
[Outro]
