An early song, but I love the raw feeling of it, made more so by its simplicity. 

Verse 1

D                       G
In your heart there are oceans

        D               G
In your heart there are flowering trees

A                                  G
Look inside and lives inside these walls

          D
Your body yearns

Verse 2

D                          G
In your dreams you've seen castles

        D                  G
In your dreams you've been Kings & Queens

A                                     G
You've ridden white horses past these walls

          D
Your body yearns

Chorus

A                    G
I'm not one to say I know what you go through

             A                        G
I only wanna open wide the window and let sunlight through

    D
For you

Verse 3

D                  G
In your face I see longing

        D          G
In your face I see hopes & fears

A                                            G
You've been locked for too long behind these walls

          D
Your body yearns

Chorus

Bridge

Bm
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me

         A
What you feel

Bm
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me

         A
What you need

Bm
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me

     A
Everything

Verse 4

D                     G
Take my hand and I'll lead you

        D              G
Take my word that I'll not deceive you

             A                         G
I only wanna carry you on beyond these walls

          D
Your body yearns

Chorus
