Intro: D Bm G A D 

D                                                Bm      
Well if the wind is her breath and the sun is her glare 
G                                  A        D 
Its hot and it's piercing, and it burns when you stare 
D                                      Bm        
She gives me shivers and keeps me warm in a daze 
G                  A    D       
Like the night she fades away 

G               D                   Bm                  
And I dont understand why you have to be 
G            A                 D 
constantly distant from me 

D Bm G A D 

D                                   Bm 
Theres a lake somewhere full of her tears 
G                     A           D 
With a sign that says swimmers beware 
D                             Bm 
I hold my breath as long as I can  
G                A         D 
But her waves crush me again, and again 

G                       D                   Bm 
And again, I dont understand why you have to be 
G          A          D 
Constantly distant from me 
G            D                   Bm 
I dont understand why you have to be 
G          A           D 
Constantly distant from me 

D Bm G A D
