Intro: F G Am F x2 Chorus:
                F                      G
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain

          Am                      F
Turn you to sand as the time slips away

               F                     G
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth

            Am                     F
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
Verse 1:
F                G
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say

Am                              F
    It's never easy, then it hurts

F                         G
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you

Am                                 F 
    But we're both moving in reverse
Pre Chorus:
F                                  G
 I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by

Am                                      F
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
Chorus Verse 2:ttp://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/ron_pope/if_you_were_a_stone.html ] Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory Some days I feel you on my skin We're trading silence There are words that seem to steal our breath And I just dream about your lips Pre Chorus Chorus Chorus 2:
                   F
We'd count the stars

                     G
My hands in your leaves

                    Am                        F
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep

                 F                    G
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,

              Am                      F
Turn you to sand as the time slips away

Chorus Outro:
                 F                     G
