Verse
A2             E/G#           G6    D/F#  A2             E/G#     G6            D/F# 
Well I sat down next to a photograph,   tried my best almost made her laugh
A2             D/F#        B4     A2             D/F#     G6           G/B    C7M
She was my toughest crowd.   There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds

A2                E/G#           G6      D/F#  A2         E/G#      G6     D/F# 
  Well I can?t sleep and I?m not in love, and I can?t speak without messing up
A2               F#m7      B4   A2                   D/F#     G6              G/B
Eyes tell of what?s behind.  Her?s showed the way to a long and a lonely 
C2      Em7                D            C2                      Em7         D2  D
climb.    But through failure I?ll proceed.  She?ll see how far I?ve come
        B4                C7M                 C7M/A      C/E D/F# E/G#
And it?s you and me in the sun and sea. I?ll offer my heart to Yours
    B4               C7M            C7M/A      C/E  D/F# G6 C7M B4
It seems to me, no mystery, it isn?t so I?ll try hard to speak

Well I sat down next to a living hell, tried my best until I struck out
A2          F#m       B4    A2         D/F#    G6              G/B          C2
Movement is not mine, I stood in the way, pretending that I was the vine
Em7             D               C2                        Em7          D2      D
     But no failure would proceed, from a mouth that drinks its wine
        B4               C7M          C7M/A           C/E D/F# E/G# 
And it?s not me, not my sanctity, these aren?t my words to you
     B4                    C7M             C7M/A       C/E D/F# G6 C7M B4
It?s all clear when its not here, so clear, so I?ll try not to speak
