F       Bb            Eb   Bb 
I had a place in the desert 
F      Bb            Eb   Bb         
Just a roof and four walls 
F             Bb            Eb  Bb 
Where I could wait for the rapture 
F             Bb            Eb  Bb 
Where I could ride out the fall 
F     Bb        Eb  Bb 
I was keeping a virgil 
F     Bb        Eb  Bb 
I was deep in a trance 
F     Bb        Eb  Bb 
I was holding a candle 
F      Bb         Eb   Bb 
To the palm of my hand 
               Eb Bb F                Eb Bb  F 
Then I saw you smiling then I saw you smiling  
               Eb Bb F                  Gm Gm9 Gm Cm    
Then I saw you smiling 
F      Bb       Eb  Bb 
Like a fool I protested 
F       Bb     Eb  Bb 
I need time to prepare 
F         Bb      Eb   Bb 
You see I never expected 
F            Bb         Eb  Bb 
Something so simple and clear 
F    Bb        Eb     Bb 
So I tried to persude you 
F          Bb           Eb  Bb 
That I was not what you thought 
F                     Bb     Eb Bb  
That I would only disappoint you 
F            Bb         Eb  Bb 
That I can't be what I'm not 
                Eb Bb  F 
You stood there smiling                   
                 Eb Bb  F 
You stood there smiling 
                Eb Bb  F Gm Gm9 Gm Cm 
You stood there smiling     
F         Bb          Eb   Bb    
I looked around for a reference 
F             Bb            Eb  Bb 
But there was none I could see 
F          Bb            Eb Bb 
Is there a thread to the sequence 
F                 Bb        Eb Bb 
That brought this vision to me 
F         Bb          Eb Bb 
There are larks in the morning 
F       Bb           Eb  Bb 
Tracing lines to the lake 
F      Bb            Eb  Bb 
Three dimensions of mercy 
F      Bb           Eb Bb 
Three dimensions of grace 
                     Eb  Bb  F 
You just stand there smiling 
                     Eb  Bb  F 
You just stand there smiling 
                     Eb  Bb  F 
You just stand there smiling
