G5
Where the Earth show it bones of wind broken stone

         D5
and the sea and the sky are one

     A5                      C5
I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine

          D5
and I'm running naked in the sun

         G5
There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees

        D5
and the sky is a painful blue

     A5                       C5          D5     G5
I'd like to look around, but Honey all I see is you.


CHORUS

Intro to chorus is G5 - C5 - G5 - D5

       C5                                           G5       C5         G5
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before

               C5                             G5
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life

       A5             A5        D5
Ah but Honey what the hell's it for

        C5                                               G5
After twenty-three years you'ld think I could find a way

            C5           G5
to let you know somehow

        A5                A5       D5                G5
That I want to see your smiling face forty five years from now.

      G5
The summer city lights will soften the night

          D5
'Til you'd think that the air is clear

         A5                           C5
And I'm sitting with friends where forty-five cents

      D5
Will buy another glass of beer

            G5
He's got something to say, but I'm so far away

         D5
That I don't know who I'm talking to

         A5                             C5             D5      G5
'Cause you just walked in the door, and Honey, All I see is you.


To Chorus

       G5
So alone in the lights on stage every night

             D5
I've been reaching out to find a friend

      A5                  C5
Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard

     D5
And knows how all the stories end

       G5
Maybe after the show she'1l ask me to go

      D5
Home with her for a drink or two

         A5                         C5            D5   G5
Now her smile lights her eyes, but Honey, all I see is you.
