CAPO 3

Intro: D  G  D  G,  D  F#m  G

Verse 1:
  D                          G
I called you up, you were in bed,
             D                           G
could barely make out the words that you said
        D                   F#m            G
But you wanted to see me instead, so I got dressed 
      D                    G         D                    G
and I stepped out into the snow, and walked for a mile or so 
	 D                           F#m         G
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest 

Bm D Em G  x2

Verse 2:
         D                   G
Well you finally came to the door, 
       D                     G
and we talked for an hour or more 
        D                              F#m
Until I asked if you would stay up til four, 
                G
you said that's fine.
               D                           G
But you said, "there's something I have to say, 
      D                          G
and I can't because I'm just so afraid"
         D                          F#m          G
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night 

Pre-Chorus:
Bm    D          Em       G
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you 
Bm      D          Em      G
Grace tonight will pull us through

Chorus:
	  D                    F#m
Until the tears have left your eyes 
	  Bm                G
Until the fear can sleep at night 
	  D                  F#m
Until the demons that you're scared of 
Bm           G
Disappear inside 
	   D               F#m
Until this scale begins to crack 
        Bm                     E
And the weight falls from your back 
      Bm                  A            D
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight 

D G D G

Verse 3:
           D                          G     
You slowly lifted your head from your hands 
            D                                  G
You said "I just don't think that you'll understand 
             D                    F#m
You'll never look at me that way again 
                   G
if you knew what I did"
            D                         G
And so your tears fell and melted the snow 
            D                  G
You told me secrets nobody had known 
      D                          F#m       
But I never loved you more, even though 
                    G
Now I know what you did 

Pre-Chorus: (repeat)
Bm    D          Em       G
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you 
Bm      D          Em      G
Grace tonight will pull us through

Chorus:
	  D                    F#m
Until the tears have left your eyes 
	  Bm                 G
Until the fears can sleep at night 
	  D                  F#m
Until the demons that you're scared of 
Bm           G
Disappear inside 
	   D               F#m
Until this scale begins to crack 
        Bm                     E
And the weight falls from your back 
      Bm                  A            
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms...
(repeat then end)
