Intro – B, G#m, E, F#
BYou breathed infinity into my world
G#mand time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
E F#
We dug a hole inB the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
Then you said, G#m"wait for meE we'll fly the wind,
F# E F#
we'll grow oldB and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,
now my world G#mis at your feet. I was lost and I wasE found,
but I was alive anF#d now I've drowned.
G#mSo now EI will be waiting for the world to hBear my song
F# E, F#
so they can tell me I was wrong...
But they weren't there beneG#math your stare,
and they weren't stripped 'tiEll they were bare of
any bindingBs from the world outside that room. F#
And tG#mhey weren't taken by the hand
and Eled through fields of naked land
where aBny pre-coF#nceived ideas were blown away...
so I cG#mouldn'F#t sayE "no".
B, G#m, E, F#
