standard tuning
Listen as the wind blows, from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away,
and after I'd
wipe away the tears,
just close your eyes dear
Through this would I've stumbled, so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved,
you speak to me in riddles , you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath, your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away,
and after I'd
wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear.
x3
Into this night I wander, it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread
ohhh -into the sea of waking dreams, I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied.
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away,
and after I'd
wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
I'll hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away,
and after I'd
wipe away the tears
just close your eyes.
(for many of the D chords I throw in some Dsus4 and Dsus2 when playing the D
-same with Am for Amsus2
-same with C for Cmaj7
especially towards the end)
