F           C
Your eyes they tie
   Am       C
me down so hard
     F      C           G     C
i'll never learn to put up a guard
  F         C
so keep my love
   Am      C
my candle bright
    F     C        G       C
learn me hard, oh learn me right

     F        C
this ain't no sham
  F         C
i am what i am

       F      C
though i may speak
     Am         C
some tongue of old
   F         C        G     C
or even spit out some holy word
  F        C
i have no strength
     Am       C
from which to speak
         F      C         G       C
when you sit me down, and see i'm weak


        F       C
we will run and scream
         F          Am
you will dance with me
        F           C
they'll fulfill our dreams
              G
and we'll be free


            F         C
and we will be who we are
            F        Am
and they'll heal our scars
                 C   G
sadness will be far away


   F     C
So as we walked
        F          Am
through fields of green
       F       C       G     C
as the fairest sun i'd ever seen
      F    C
and i was broke
      F      Am
i was on my knees
    F        C      G      C
but you said yes as i said please


     F        C
this ain't no sham
  F         C
i am what i am

  F         C
i leave no ties
      F       C
for a cynics mind


        F       C
we will run and scream
         F          Am
you will dance with me
        F           C
they'll fulfill our dreams
              G
and we'll be free


            F         C
and we will be who we are
            F        Am
and they'll heal our scars
                 C  G
sadness will be far away


        Am            F           G
do not let my fickle flesh go to waste
       Am        F                      G
as it keeps my heart and soul in it's place
            Am        F                     G
and i will love with urgency but not with haste
