E A
You talk as if in riddles
A A+ A E
You talk as if in rhymes
E A
Down in the lion's lair
A A+ A E
I stroke yourself to feel so fine
E A
And what are you afraid of
A F#m
Afraid to get so touched
F#m A E
Like when you begin to feel, is that way way too much
E A
You've lost your sense of purpose
A A+ A E
And you can't stand alone
E A
There's no more circus here
A A+ A E
And nothing's carved in stone
E A
I see you down in the desert
A F#m
And on the lonely beach
F#m A
I hold you in these places
A E
Where no one else can reach you
(arpeggio E from high "e" string down)
For comfort there...
Chorus:
E D A A+ A
In your wildest dreams,
E D A
We can talk until we say something
E D A A+ A
It don't mean a thing
F#m A E
I will be there when you come back down, oh yeah
E A E A
Oh yeah, yeah.
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
I hold you in the desert
And on the lonely beach
I hold you in these places
Where no one else can reach you
The words cannot reveal this
And nothing's carved in stone
So baby don't hide around it,
If it's something you can own
I want you when you're bad,
And when you think you're good
I want you when you won't
And when you think you should
I want you when you're angry
And when you come back down
I hold you above the water,
When you think that you might drown
G? A-wonder...
[Chorus 2]
Bridge:
F#m D
I look back in
A E
And you'll be smiling once again
F#m D
I turn around
A E
Just as the sun comes shining in on you
F#m A E
We have not lost, but just begun
[Chorus 3 & 4]
Last line:
For now and ever, we've just begun...
