G5 E5 A5 D5 G5

G5               E5
I was lost till you were found
A5               D5
But I never knew how far down
      G5
I was falling,
         E5          C5      D5
before I reached the bottom

G5              E5
I was cold and you were fire
A5               D5
And I never knew how the pyre
         G5
Could be burning,
       E5          C5         D5
on the edge of the ice field

            C5          D5      G5
And the now chilly California wind,
   C5                D5       G5
is blowing down our bodies again
         A5      E5         A5              G5                 D5
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand
      C5          A5     E5             G5
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
    E5               A5          D5         A5
And can t you see my faded Levis bursting apart?
    E5
And don t you hear me crying;
   G5
Oh babe, don t go?
A5
And don t you hear me screaming;
D5
How was I to know? 

G5                    C5
I m in the middle of nowhere,
D5                   G5
near the end of the line
                        C5
But there s a border to somewhere waiting,
D5                        G5
and there s a tankful of time
                  C5              D5                       G5
Oh, give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,
                C5                  D5               G5
and take me to another land where, I don t have to stay

E5               D5                C5                 G5
And I m going to need somebody to make me feel like you do
E5           D5                   C5
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
A5                                                   D5
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
E5             D5
For crying out loud,
           G5
you know I love you
E5             D5
For crying out loud,
           G5
you know I love you
E5             D5
For crying out loud,
           C5    G5   E5 A5 G5 D5 
you know I love you

G5                E5
I was damned and you were saved,
A5               D5
and I never knew how enslaved,
      G5
I was kneeling;
       E5           C5     D5
in the chains of my master

G5                 E5
I could laugh but you could cry,
A5               D5
and I never knew just how high,
      G5
I was flying;
         E5         C5      D5
ah, with you right above me

            C5          D5      G5
And the now chilly California wind,
   C5                D5       G5
is blowing down our bodies again
         A5      E5         A5              G5                 D5
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand
      C5          A5     E5             G5
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
    E5               A5          D5         A5
And can t you see my faded Levis bursting apart?
    E5
And don t you hear me crying;
   G5
Oh babe, don t go?
A5
And don t you hear me screaming;
D5
How was I to know?

                 C5              D5                       G5
Oh give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,
                C5                  D5               G5

E5             D5
For crying out loud,
           G5
you know I love you
E5             D5
For crying out loud,
           G5
you know I love you
E5             D5
For crying out loud,
           C5    G5   E5 A5 G5 D5 
you know I love you

G5
For taking in the rain when I m feeling so dry,
    A5
for giving me the answers when I m asking you why,
C5         D5
and my oh my,
           G5
for that I thank you

For taking in the sun when I m feeling so cold,
    A5
for giving me a child when my body is old,
C5             D5
and don t you know,
           G5
for that I need you?

For coming to my room when you know I m alone,
    A5
for finding me a highway and driving me home,
C5             D5
and you got to know,
           G5
for that I serve you?

For pulling me away when I m starting to fall,
    A5
for revving me up when I m starting to stall,
C5          D5
and all in all,
           G5
for that I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game,
    A5
For praying for my future in the days that remain,


C5   D5
Oh, lord,
           G5
for that I hold you
                E5
Ah, but most of all
               D5
For crying out loud,
           G5
for that I love you
                 E5
Who, but most of all,
               D5
for crying out loud,
           G5
for that I love you

                 E5
Who, but most of all,
               D5
for crying out loud,
           G5       G5 E5 G5 E5
For that I love you
            E5         D5
When you re crying out loud,
           C5    G5
You know I love you
