Intro 
D A G (x2) 

Verse 
D 
I found a ring, deep inside a box 
    Bm 
On a dead end street, and you were there watching me 
    Em 
But I didn't know, I couldn't see 
     G 
I was lost, asleep inside a fantasy 

D 
I love your hair in the mornings you know 
     Bm 
You love to run wild, and let the mane flow 
       Em 
But you run away, but we meet again soon 
G 
South of the border and over the moon 

Bm               A  G 
When you're gone it never feels right 
Bm                 A   G 
It gets so cold in the dark of the night 

D                                 G 
I only like the shade when you're blocking the light  x2 

D  A  G 

Verse 
D 
I put the ring back where it belongs 
    Bm 
It feels right, and you were wating up all night 
Em 
I didn't know if I went away 
        G 
And got lost, that you'd still be there anyway 

D 
I figured out what you whispered that night 
Bm 
Somewhere the clouds touch the mountains just right 
Em 
Somewhere we're dancing and you're singing the tune 
G 
South of the border and over the moon 

Bm               A  G 
When you're gone it never feels right 
Bm                 A   G 
It gets so cold in the dark of the night
