( Dm - C - Bb )
Close to my skin
I'm falling in
Someone who's been
Sitting by the phone
I'm left alone
In another zone
John says to live above hell
My will is well
No one is waiting
For me to fail
My will could sail. yeah ( Dm - C - Bb )
It's such a waste to be wasted
In the first place
I want to tasted the taste of
Being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone I listen
To our secret theme
( Dm - Am )
You solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
I'd take a fall and you know
That I'd do anything
C Am
I will for you.
( Dm - C - Bb )
Sailing for the sun
'Cause there is one
Knows were I'm from
I care for you
I really do I really do
Come closer now
So you can lie
Right by my side
Sit alone in the sun
I wrote a letter to you
Getting over my self
( Dm - Am )
You solar eyes are like
Nothing I have you ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
I'd take a fall and you know
That I'd do anything
C Am
I will for you
You solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That was made for you
I'd take a fall and you know
That I'd do anything
I will for you
( Dm - C - Bb )
Close to my skin
Someone who's been
I'm falling in
Disasters are
Just another star
Falling in my yard
John says to live above hell
My will is well
Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell
