Jackson Browne - Sky blue and black acoustic

^A#In the calling out to one another All the^Gm lovers up and down the strand ^D#In the sound of the waves and the cries Of the ^E#seagulls circling the sand

^A#In the fragments of the songs Carried down the ^Gmwind from some radio ^D#In the murmuring of the city in the distance ^E#Ominous and low

^A#I hear the sound of a w^Gmorld where we played And the ^D#far too simple beauty of the ^E#promises we made

^GmIf you ever need ^D#holding ^A#Call my name, I^E#'ll be there

^GmIf you ever need^D# holding And no ^A#holding back, I'll see you t^E#hrough

^A#Sky b^Gmlue and black ^D#//music^E# w/o lyrics//

^A#Where the touch of the lover ends And the ^Gmsoul of the friend begins There's a ^D#need to be separate and a need to be one And a ^E#struggle neither wins

^A#Where you gave me the world I was in And a ^Gmplace I could make a stand I could never ^D#see how you doubted me When I'd ^E#let go of your hand ^A#Yeah, and I^Gm was much younger then And I ^D#must have thought that I would know If ^E#things were going to end ^GmAnd the heavens were ^D#rolling ^A#Like a wheel on a t^E#rack ^GmAnd our sky was un^D#folding ^A# And it'll never fold b^E#ack

^A#Sky blue and b^Gmlack ^D#//music^E# w/o lyrics//

I'd have ^Gmfought the ^A#wor^D#ld ^E#for you If I thoug^Gmht that you wanted me t^A#o ^{D# E#} Or put ^Gmaside what was true or untrue ^{A# D# E#} If I'd ^A#known that's what y^E#ou needed, what you needed me to do me to do

^A#But the moment has p^Gmassed by me now To have ^D#put away my pride And just come ^E#through for you somehow

^GmIf you ever need^D# holding ^A#Call my name, ^E#I'll be there ^GmIf you ever need^D# holding And no ^A#holding back, I'll see you t^E#hrough

^A#You're the colour of the sky Reflected in each ^Gmstore-front window pane ^D#You're the whispering and the sighing Of my ^E#tires in the rain ^A#You're the hidden cost and the thing that's l^Gmost in everything I do ^D#Yeah and I'll ^E#never stop l^A#ooking for you

^Gm//music w/o lyrics// ^D#In the sunlight and the shadows ^E#And the faces on the avenue

^A# Th^Gmat'^D#s the way love is ^E#That's the way love is

^A# Th^Gmat'^D#s the way love is ^E#Sky blue and b^A#lack
