Verse
A2 		E/G#  	   G6    D/F#  A2 		E/G#     G6  	    D/F# 
Well I sat down next to a photograph,   tried my best almost made her laugh
A2 		D/F#	  Bsus     A2		 D/F#     G6	     G/B    Cmaj7
She was my toughest crowd.   There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds

A2 		   E/G#  	   G6      D/F#  A2 	  E/G#      G6     D/F# 
  Well I can?t sleep and I?m not in love, and I can?t speak without messing up
A2 		  F#m7	Bsus   A2		       D/F#     G6		  G/B
Eyes tell of what?s behind.  Her?s showed the way to a long and a lonely 
C2	Em7		    D	      C2		          Em7	   D2  D
climb.    But through failure I?ll proceed.  She?ll see how far I?ve come
        Bsus		    Cmaj7		     Cmaj7/A	C/E D/F# E/G#
And it?s you and me in the sun and sea. I?ll offer my heart to Yours
    Bsus		   Cmaj7		Cmaj7/A	C/E  D/F# G6 Cmaj7 Bsus
It seems to me, no mystery, it isn?t so I?ll try hard to speak

Verse2
A2 		E/G#  	  G6      D/F#  A2 	    E/G#     G6 	 D/F#
Well I sat down next to a living hell, tried my best until I struck out
A2 	   F#m 	Bsus    A2	   D/F#    G6		  G/B 	   C2
Movement is not mine, I stood in the way, pretending that I was the vine
Em7		 D	         C2		 	     Em7	    D2	D
     But no failure would proceed, from a mouth that drinks its wine
        Bsus		   Cmaj7	    Cmaj7/A	     C/E D/F# E/G# 
And it?s not me, not my sanctity, these aren?t my words to you
     Bsus			  Cmaj7		 Cmaj7/A	 C/E D/F# G6 Cmaj7 Bsus
It?s all clear when its not here, so clear, so I?ll try not to speak
