[Intro]
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G

[Verse]
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
When I watch you sleeping there's nothing that you hide
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
When I smell you breathing there's a sweetness from inside
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
And when I feel you stirring and the day is about to break
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C
Outside wings are worrying and the sky is there to take
C G Am
I wonder how I got so close to you and see the chances that you take
C G D
Without thinking I'm going there too these are the promises you make
C G D
When your eyes are blinded by love and the history a fate

[Interlude]
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G

[Verse]
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
When I hear you purring like a kitten and a lion
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
And I feel your softness how you got it without trying
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
Then you roll and tumble with your dreams still holding on
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C
And I hear that rumble in the stomach of the dawn
C G Am
Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears
C G D
Thinking through my path to you and where I stumbled through the years

[Solo]
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G

[Chorus]
C G Am
Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears
C G
Thinking through the road I took to you
D
and how I stumbled through the years
C G
That's when I knew I'd never hold you down
G D
Repeating old roads and fears

[Verse]
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
Now the crows are calling and the blackbirds sing in my ear
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
You got one eye open and I am smiling through my tears
G Em C G Dadd9add4 C G
But you'll never see them they're inside with my fears
G Em C G
In a place that's fading away and taking on new years

[Outro]
