Verse riff
I need a silent true-way to admire.
Like you as a sunset, and I as a wildfire.
Dm       Fmaj7          C    C-riff
And I can let the day go...

Verse riff
I've locked up these words, in fear that I'd say them wrong.
Is it love as a mountain, or love as a simple song?
Dm        Fmaj7              C
And the moment that the two meet
has now laid itself at your feet

Chorus
Fmaj7    C  Dm   C  Fmaj7     C
And love is not convenient; it does not cease at your command
Fmaj7    C  Dm   C  Fmaj7     
You might take and leave it, 
Em      C/Gsus       C
but love is all I am.
Em     C/Gsus    C
Love is all I am.

Verse
I need a boundless, soft way to commend
Like you as a temper, and I as it's tender end.
And however long your fits last
I will live within your shadow cast.

Chorus
And love is still your stranger; it does not respect how much you'll stand
You might be love's reminder, 
but love is all I am.
Love is all am.

Verse
I need a graceful, proud way to let go
To smile and accept the things that you don't know
The losses and the gains blurred
The weight of these as last words

Chorus
And love is not excitement; it's not kissing, or holding hands
I'm not some assignment; 
no, love is all I am
Love is all I am.
Love is all I am.
