Am 
                                   G 
 It wasn't the moon, it wasn't the rain, it wasn't the light 
F 
 Some brilliant angels, Seraphim white 
      Am                               G 
 I was over my head and burning like a match stick in the night 
F 
 We went to the river where the moon was out of sight 


                      F                        C 
 I'll take you to the water if it makes things right 
              Am                           G             F 
 Lay myself beside you and we were the night, along with you 
C              Am                      G 
 Always and forever, tell me that it's true... 
                   F 
 ...to be loved by you 


C 
 If you were my only, then I might only know what to do 
Am 
 If you cannot hold me, then I have something to hold on to 
      C                                
 I was over my head and burning like a match stick in the night 
Am 
 We went to the river where the moon was out of sight 


                      F                        C 
 I'll take you to the water if it makes things right 
              Am                           G             F 
 Lay myself beside you and we were the night, along with you 
C              Am                      G 
 Always and forever, tell me that it's true... 
      

               F 
 We're going down, down, baby to your momma's home 
            C                                    Em 
 The car is running in the drive-way, but you're not alone 
         F 
 I get lost behind the wheel, hear the screen doors slam 
         C                          Em 
 I get lost, I get lost, trying to remember who I am 

F - C - G 


                      F                        C 
 I'll take you to the water if it makes things right 
              Am                           G             F 
 Lay myself beside you and we were the night, along with you 
C              Am                      G 
 Always and forever, tell me that it's true... 

                      F                        C 
 I'll take you to the water if it makes things right 
              Am                           G             F 
 Lay myself beside you and we were the night, along with you 
C              Am                      G 
 Always and forever, tell me that it's true...
