Eb     Fm 
I was born at the wrong time  
Eb      Fm                Cm7      
A child lost on the skyline  
        Fm             Bb 
When I felt a need to change  
Eb     Fm 
So I looked deep within me  
Eb      Fm                  Cm7       
Somehow touched by the real me  
Eb     Fm               Bb 
Had to find another way  

{  
      Bb     Eb            Fm 
So take the heart of this man  
         Bb               Fm                   
Heal the pain with your hands  
        Eb                   Fm 
Shelter me from the rain 
         Bb      Cm  
Help my eyes see again  
Cm 
Free me  
              Gm 
Hold me close  
   Fm       Bb      Eb 
And take my soul on board  



Shallow waters we drown in  
From the deep you are calling  
And with your touch I drift away  

 C#  F#  C#  G# 
C#              F#               C# G# 
With fear and pride I live and die  
C#                    F#          
A silver light in the blue night  
C#          G#7/4 G#7 G# 
You come to me  

Eb       Bb 

Bb      Eb           Fm 
Take my heart be my guide  
           Bb            Fm                   
Lay your strength by my side  
        Eb                   Fm 
And cover me from the rain 
       Bb            Cm  
Now my eyes can see again  
Cm 
Free me  
          Gm 
Hold me close  
Cm              Gm                   Fm 
Through dark skies you led my spirit home  
               Bb      Eb 
You took my soul on board
