Am            G         D    
Trouble me to tell your secret 
Am                  G       D 
Crouch down low and whisper why 
C                     Dm                
Turn the lights down, close the window 
C                     Dm       
It’s wild out there tonight 
  
  
Am               G         D       
Come in from the storm and thunder 
Am                   G        D    
Wait it out till the coast is clear 
C            Dm                   
Such a heavy cloud we’re under 
C               Dm            D  
Thought I was alone in here 
 F         G              Am 
Alone in a room with your kiss 
 F         G              Am 
Alone in a room with your kiss 
  
  
Am               G      D       
Further down the road I wander 
Am             G      D       
Leaving what I know behind 
C            Dm                
Gather me to roam beyond where 
C                  Dm             
Protected from the winds and mist 
 F           G              Am 
Alone in our room with your kiss 
  
  
Bridge: 
Am             F        C       
Twisted branch cold and splinter 
Am               D  
Devastating possibilities 
Am             F         C       
Flotsam jetsam muck wash over 
Am             D 
How I long for clear, clean water 
Dm               F  Am  G Am 
Bone and feather on the altar 
  
  
Am        G         D       
Elemental weave and wander 
Am           G        D       
Expectations spark to fly 
C                 Dm                
Several ways with no direction 
C                Dm                
Missed its mark, made the hit 
C                  Dm           D  
Deafening sound of nothingness 
 F         G              Am 
Alone in a room with your kiss 
 F         G              Am      F  F  G  Am 
Alone in a room with your kiss
