verse 1: 
C 
I will carry you and give you life 
Em                   D 
I will cover you and show you the way 
C 
It's a sequence that you never learned 
Em                   D 
It's a lesson I will never forget 

C 
I can hear you in the overtones 
Em                  D 
Just an echo of the promise we made 
C 
Change the future, we can travel time 
Em                         D          C 
Or make us blind so we can never look back 


Em       
D                 C 
We can never look back 
Em      D         C 


 
C                Em D 
I'm the night-sky 
                       C 
I'm the fire in your eyes  

And I want you 
Em      D           C 
Now and for all time 
                  Em D 
I'm the cold heart 
                          C 
I'm the secret that you hide 
                  Em     D 
I'll be listening until you decide 


verse 2: 

C 
I communicate in simple streams (take your time) 
Em                   D 
I'm the only one who gave you the truth (speak to me) 
C 
Once you leave me you were really gone (far and near) 
Em                   D 
Give me something to remember you by (always be) 

C 
All that's here is what you left behind (majesty) 
Em                   D 
Slowly moving in the back of my mind (can't forget) 
C 
Take a moment to remember me (and I will) 
Em                       D         C 
Make me blind so I don't ever look back 


Em     D         C 
Only in your name 
Em     D         
I will ne'er be free
