Em            D       G	       A 
You're not a ship to carry my life 
         Am           Em      D           Em 
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights 
      Em                D           G            A 
I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here 
      Am                   Em      D       Em 
For I need your love your love protects my fears 

       G                        
And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind 
       B7          Em          D        D/F# 
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind 
G                     	        
And I need you to turn to when I lose control 
	 B7                     Em            D	   
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold 

          Em             D        G         A 
Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew 
         Am         Em         D         Em 
That my reason for living was for loving you 
       Em          D          G           A 
We're related in feeling but you're high above 
Am      Em              D               Em 
You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove 

Outro: Em  D  G  A  Am  Em  D  E
