Xavier Rudd - Before I Go
Album: Storm Boy
[Chorus]
F C Bb
Before I go can I hold you close?
F C Bb
'Cause your light fills up my soul
F C Bb
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
F C F
Why I just need you by my side
[Verse 1]
C Bb F
Framed in the doorway by the first morning light
C Bb F
Heart was heavy, bags by your side
C Bb F
She look over, she was trying hard to hide
G Bb F
That hollow feeling she felt inside
[Chorus]
F C Bb
Before I go can I hold you close?
F C Bb
'Cause your light fills up my soul
F C Bb
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
F C F
Why I just need you by my side
[Verse 2]
C Bb F
There's time to walk away, there was nothing left to say
C Bb F
She allowed that tear to finally trickle down her face
C Bb F
He turned and tipped his hat, said, "Angel, now you be safe,
G Bb F
There ain't nothing ever gonna take your place."
[Chorus]
F C Bb
Before I go can I hold you close?
F C Bb
'Cause your light fills up my soul
F C Bb
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
F C F
Why I just need you by my side
[Solo]
F C Bb F C Bb F C Bb F C F
[Bridge]
G Bb F
Sometimes you feel down when it rains
G Bb C
Then you see the colors change
F
And the rainbow guides you home
[Chorus]
F C Bb
Can I hold you close?
F C Bb
'Cause that's the safest place I've ever known
F C Bb
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
F C F
Why I just need you by my side
