[C]           [F]      [C]
I thought you were the wind
[F]                         [C]
Rattlin through this house again
[C]           [F]      [C]     [C/B]
I thought you were the moon
[Am]            [G]     [C]
Lightin up these empty rooms

[C]           [F]      [C]
I thought you were the sun
[F]                         [C]
Shining down on everyone but me
[C]           [F]      [C]     [C/B]
I thought you were the night
             [Am]       [G]           [C]
And thats as close as I came to being right

[F] [C]

[C]       [F]      [C]
I saw you on the ground
[F]                    [C]
Every time that I fell down
[C]      [F]     [C]     [C/B]
I saw you in the sky
[Am]            [G]     [C]
Reaching out as I flew by

[C]           [F]      [C]
I heard you on the sea
[F]                         [C]
Always calling out to me
[C]           [F]      [C]      [C/B]
I saw you in the northern lights
            [Am]        [G]          [C]
And thats as close as I came to being right

[F]       [C]           [G]     [F]
I didnt know it could grow so dark
[F]       [C]           [G]     [F]
I didnt know it could break my heart
[F]            [C]          [G]     [F]       [F/B]
I thought it to better not to put up a fight
            [Am]         [G]     [C]
And thats as close as I came to being right

[C]           [F]      [C]
I thought you were the wind
[F]                      [C]
Blowin through my home again
[C]           [F]      [C]   [C/B]

  [Am]                [G]     [C]
Now nothin lights these empty rooms

[C]           [F]      [C]
I thought you were the sun
[F]                      [C]
Spreading warmth on everyone but me
[C]           [F]      [C]    [C/B]
I thought you were the night
             [Am]       [G]           [C] [C/B]
And thats as close as I came to being right
