Intro:
C

F                  C
Before it took you away

Am               F   C
I tried to think of something I could say

              F              C
I watched the shadows in the hall

          Am             F             C
How they danced with the light and the white on the walls


Your face in these pictures looks like a poem
Your eyes lit up like a river stone
Your body so much like a blanket thrown

Am                      F                      Fmaj7
On a warm bed at night, like a house in a storm


C


         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway 

    Am             F       C
You tell me you're here to stay

    F                    C
The worst is gone and by God I love 

   Am         F         C
If you'd been here this way


C


F                 C 
I surprise myself sometimes

            Am   F               C
The way the days unfold and this road unwinds

    F                  C
You tell me you see it too

        Am              F           C
And the miles seem like inches when I think of you




         C   F        C         F
Its been 25 day since I've been gone

C   F          C    F   
25 weeks since I've seen my home

        C  F      C            F
I spent 25 months chasing this song

    Am               F              Fmaj7
and all of this time I've been alone



         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway

    Am      F            C 
You tell me your here to stay

    F                 C
The worst is gone and by God I love 

   Am         F         C
If you'd been here this way


        Am    F     C
And you knew it all along

         Am    F   C
I wasn't happy all along

         Am    F    C
and your body all I wanted

    Am    F         C
let me to just come home


         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway

    Am      F              C 
You tell me you're here to stay

    F                 C
The worst is gone and by God I love 

    Am        F         C
If you'd been here to stay


      Am         F             C
And I only just learned how to stand like a man
         
         Am  F       C
I've got 25 years of running instead

Am          F       C
How could I see the ground at my feet

    Am          C             F
The truth is to me that I was caught in the storm

C
That I wasn't alone
