Am                      G      D
Listen as the wind blows, from across the great divide

        Am                 G            D
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time

Am                    G         D
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide

F                  Am            D
would I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?

  F         Em      Am
And I would be the one

              C
to hold you down

           F
kiss you so hard

     F          Em      F
I'll take your breath away,

          Am
and after I'd

      C
wipe away the tears,

     F           G       Am
just close your eyes dear
Am G D
  Am                           G       D
Through this word I've stumbled,  so many times betrayed

            Am              G             D
trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved,

    Am                    G         D
you speak to me in riddles , you speak to me in rhymes

      F            Am                        D
my body aches to breathe your breath,  your words keep me alive

F         Em     Am
And I would be the one

            C
to hold you down

          F
kiss you so hard

  F            Em      F
I'll take your breath away,

          Am
and after I'd

      C
wipe away the tears

      F        G       Am
just close your eyes dear.
Am G D x3
Am                    G          D
Into this night I wander,  it's morning that I dread

Am               G                D
another day of knowing of  the path I fear to tread

     Am                 G                  D
ohhh -into the sea of waking dreams,  I follow without pride

 F                   Am             D
nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied.

  F         Em      Am
And I would be the one

             C
to hold you down

         F
kiss you so hard

F      Em      F
I'll take your breath away,

          Am
and after I'd

       C
wipe away the tears

    F           G       F
just close your eyes dear

             Am
I'll hold you down

           C
kiss you so hard

     F          Em      F
I'll take your breath away,

         Am
and after I'd

           C
wipe away the tears

      Am        Em
just close your eyes.
