Intro: Em   C   (2x) 

       C            Em  
I find shelter in this way 
      C         Em 
Under cover, hide away 
        C         Em 
Can you hear when I say 
       C             Em 
I have never felt this way 


            C                        Am 
Maybe I had said something that was wrong 
              Em                           G 
Can I make it better with the lights turned on 
             C                      Am 
Maybe I had said something that was wrong 
              Em                           G 
Can I make it better with the lights turned on 


C   Am   Em   G 


        C        Em 
Could I be, was I there 
           C            Em 
It felt so crystal in the air 
                C                 Em 
I still want to drown whenever you leave 
                C           Em          C 
Please teach me gently how to breathe 


    Em                             C 
And I'll cross oceans like never before 
           Em                    C 
So you can feel the way I feel it too 
    Em                      C 
And I'll send images back at you 
           Em                   C 
So you can see the way I feel it too 


            C                       Am 
Maybe I had said something that was wrong 
              Em                           G 
Can I make it better with the lights turned on 
            C                       Am 
Maybe I had said something that was wrong 
              Em                           G 
Can I make it better with the lights turned on 


C   Am   Em   G   (2x) 
Em   C   (2x)
