This is based on the version from Solo Acoustic Volume 2. 

As Jackson plays it on the piano it’s not exact but I think it works as a good 
base for you to then use your ear to hear when a base note or something needs to be emphasised.


Intro: Bb Gm Eb E#

Bb
In the calling out to one another
       Gm
All the lovers up and down the strand
Eb
In the sound of the waves and the cries
       E#
Of the seagulls circling the sand

Bb
In the fragments of the songs
                 Gm
Carried down the wind from some radio
Eb
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
E#
Ominous and low

Bb                     Gm  
I hear the sound of a world where we played
        Eb                           E#
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made

Gm               Eb
If you ever need holding
Bb             E#
Call my name, I'll be there

Gm              Eb
If you ever need holding
       Bb                          E#
And no holding back, I'll see you through

Bb   Gm
Sky blue and black
Eb     E#
//music w/o lyrics//

Repeat intro

Bb
Where the touch of the lover ends
        Gm
And the soul of the friend begins
          Eb
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
      E#
And a struggle neither wins

Bb
Where you gave me the world I was in
      Gm
And a place I could make a stand
              Eb
I could never see how you doubted me
         E#
When I'd let go of your hand
Bb         Gm
Yeah, and I was much younger then
      Eb                   
And I must have thought that I would know
   E#
If things were going to end
Gm                   Eb
And the heavens were rolling
Bb                 E#
Like a wheel on a track
Gm                Eb
And our sky was unfolding
Bb                     E#
 And it'll never fold back

Bb            Gm
Sky blue and black
Eb     E#
//music w/o lyrics//

Repeat intro

         Gm			   Bb Eb E#
I'd have fought the world for you
          Gm                     Bb Eb E#
If I thought that you wanted me to
       Gm                     	      Bb Eb E#
Or put aside what was true or untrue
       Bb             		E#
If I'd known that's what you needed, what you needed me to do me to do

Bb                  Gm
But the moment has passed by me now
        Eb
To have put away my pride
              E#
And just come through for you somehow

Gm              Eb
If you ever need holding
Bb            E#
Call my name, I'll be there
Gm              Eb
If you ever need holding
       Bb                          E#
And no holding back, I'll see you through

Bb
You're the colour of the sky
                  Gm
Reflected in each store-front window pane
Eb
You're the whispering and the sighing
      E#
Of my tires in the rain
Bb                                           Gm
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do
Eb            E#          Bb
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you

Gm
//music w/o lyrics//

Eb
In the sunlight and the shadows
E#
And the faces on the avenue

Bb Gm Eb
	That's the way love is
E#
That's the way love is

Bb Gm Eb
	That's the way love is
E#            Bb
Sky blue and black
