G9  Am11
It's going straight to my head:
  D9                    G5          Gm
I think I'm falling in love again.
                           G9
Such simple miracles have happened
                              Am11
since your steady hands have come and
   D9          A94
stopped my unraveling.


                             G9    Am11
Your fingers, built for the piano,
              D9                G5      Gm
work out the knots that line my back.
                                    G9
The stress I've stored since last December;
                     Am11
But now, it doesn't matter.
                 D9            A94
I've learned to leave it in my past.

                           G9
And I feel good about the future,
Am11      D9            G5        Gm
and this clarity I've never had.
                          G9
You are the bounce in my step,
                                Am11
the burst of blood in my chest,
                D9          A94
the prayer I've kept in my head.

                          Am7    C
You are the knock of my knees,
             Dm             G   Dadd11
the swollen sound of each song
                             Am7
I scribble down and tear up,
                          C
because they never match up.
              Dm            A
You are the words I fumble for.

         Bm
In the morning,
               C       D
you are the daybreak,
       G   Dadd11
and I am glad.

         Am7
And at night,
              C
you are the dream
        D         F      Dadd11
I fall asleep to have.

Am7 , C , D , F , Dadd11 [x2]
