Chorus:
                G5                      D5
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
          E5                      C5
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
               G5                     D5
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
            E5                     C5
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward


Verse 1:
G5                D5
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
E5                              C5
    It's never easy, then it hurts
G5                         D5
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
E5                                 C5 
    But we're both moving in reverse

Pre Chorus:
G5                                  D5
 I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
E5                                      C5
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine

Chorus

Verse 2:ttp://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/ron_pope/if_you_were_a_stone.html ]
Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory
Some days I feel you on my skin
We're trading silence
There are words that seem to steal our breath
And I just dream about your lips

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Chorus 2:
                   G5
We'd count the stars
                     D5
My hands in your leaves
                    E5                        C5
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
                 G5                    D5
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
              E5                      C5
Turn you to sand as the time slips away

I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for?
D5
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for?

I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you

Turn you to sand as the time slips away
