Capo on 1st

C   F   C   F  F

C
Like a turning head
                        F
Like a second look
                         C                      G
Like a burning leaf of an open book
                           Am
Like a pounding sea
                      F
Like a messy crime
                   C                            G
When your eyes first met with mine
                       C
Like a broken word
                     F
Like a tragic smile
                           C                       G
Like a thousand steps or a single mile
                      Am
Like a lonely chance
                       F
Like a savage glow
                  C                      G
When you turned and said hello
                              Am
I was just about to go
                  Bb                    F
There were flowers on the ceiling
Bb
You left me feeling

Like a fading voice
Like a closing door
Like a dozen lies and a dozen more

Like a twisted tongue
Like distant bike
When we broke out into the dark

The stars looked like burning sparks
The lights were warm but chilling
You left me feeling

C Dm
Tired
Bb                           C
Could not close my eyes
      C Dm
On fire

Bb                 C
But frozen inside
F                  Bb
To run or to hide
C        Dm        Bb                      C
Speechless my words could not melt
C  Dm    Bb              C
Whisper I wanted to shout
F                     Bb
With out you I felt

Like a fleeting thought
Like a double eight
Like a gentle fear of a warming taste

Like a placid breath
Like a cooling blow
When you stopped and held me close

Inside I nearly froze
Your touch is almost healing
You left me feeling

C Dm
Tired
Bb                           C
Could not close my eyes
      C Dm
On fire
Bb                 C
But frozen inside
F                  Bb
To run or to hide
C        Dm        Bb                      C
Speechless my words could not melt
C  Dm    Bb              C
Whisper I wanted to shout
F                     Bb
With out you I felt

                      C
Like a setting sun
                          F
Like a last goodbye
                         C              F
Like an incomplete lullaby
