C In the calling out to one another G Of the lovers up and down the strand Dm In the sound of the waves and the cries G Of the seagulls circling the sand C In the fragments of the songs G Carried down the wind from some radio Dm In the murmuring of the city in the distance G Ominous and low C G I hear the sound of a world where we played Dm G And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made Am F If you ever need holding C G Call my name, I'll be there Am F If you ever need holding C G And no holding back, I'll see you through C G Sky blue and black Dm G C Where the touch of the lover ends G And the soul of the friend begins Dm There's a need to be separate and a need to be one G And a struggle neither wins C Where you gave me the world I was in G And a place I could make a stand Dm (And) I could never see how you doubted me G When I'd let go of your hand C G Yeah, and I was much younger then Dm And I must have thought that I'd have known G If things were going to end Am F And the heavens were rolling C G Like a wheel on a track Am F And our sky was unfolding C G And it'll never fold back C G Sky blue and black Dm G Am I'd have fought the world for you F (I'd have fought the world for you) C G If I thought that you wanted me to Am G Or put aside what was true or untrue C If I'd known that's what you needed G What you needed me to do C G But the moment has passed by me now Dm To have put away my pride G And just come through for you somehow Am F If you ever need holding C G Call my name, I'll be there Am F If you ever need holding C G And no holding back, I'll see you through C You're the color of the sky G Reflected in each store-front window pane Dm You're the whispering and the sighing G Of my tires in the rain C G You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do Dm G C Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you G Dm G C In the sunlight and the shadows G And the faces on the avenue Dm G C That's the way love is G That's the way love is Dm That's the way love is G C Sky blue and black
