(Capo 3)
[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G Em
I was lost till you were found
Am D
But I never knew how far down
G
I was falling
Em C D
Before I reached the bottom
[Verse 2]
G Em
I was cold and you were fire
Am D
And I never knew how the pyre
G
Could be burning
Em C D
On the edge of the ice field
[Chorus 1]
C D G
And the now chilly california wind
C D G
Is blowing down our bodies again
Em Am G D
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand
C Am G
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
Em Am D
And cant you see my faded levis bursting apart
G#m
And dont you hear me crying:
Bb
Oh babe, dont go
C
And dont you hear me screaming:
D
How was I to know?
[Chorus 2]
G C
Im in the middle of nowhere
D G
Near the end of the line
C
But theres a border to somewhere waiting
D G
And theres a tankful of time
C D G
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
C D G
And take me to another land where I dont have to stay
[Chorus 3]
Em D C G
And Im gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
Em D C
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Am D
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
Em D
For crying out loud
G
You know I love you
Em D
For crying out loud
G
You know I love you
Em D
For crying out loud
C Am D
You know I love you
[Verse 4]
G Em
I was damned and you were saved
C Am
and I never knew how enslaved
G
I was kneeling
Em C D
in the chains of my master
[Verse 5]
G Em
I could laugh, but you could cry,
C Am
and I never knew just how high
G
I was flying, ah
Em C D
with you right above me
[Chorus 1]
C D G
And the now chilly california wind
C D G
Is blowing down our bodies again
Em Am G D
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand
C Am G
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
Em Am D
And cant you see my faded levis bursting apart
G#m
And dont you hear me crying:
Bb
Oh babe, dont go
C
And dont you hear me screaming:
D
How was I to know?
[Chorus 2]
G C
Im in the middle of nowhere
D G
Near the end of the line
C
But theres a border to somewhere waiting
D G
And theres a tankful of time
C D G
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
C D G
And take me to another land where I dont have to stay
[Chorus 3]
Em D C G
And Im gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
Em D C
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Am D
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
Em D
For crying out loud
G
You know I love you
Em D
For crying out loud
G
You know I love you
Em D
For crying out loud
C Am D
You know I love you
[Chorus 4]
G
For taking in the rain when Im feeling so dry
Am
For giving me the answers when Im asking you why
C D
And my oh my
G
For that I thank you
[Chorus 5]
G
For taking in the sun when Im feeling so cold
Am
For giving me a child when my body is old
C D
And dont you know
G
For that I need you
[Chorus 6]
G
For coming to my room when you know Im alone
Am
For finding me a highway and driving me home
C D
And you gotta know
G
For that I serve you
[Chorus 7]
G
For pulling me away when Im starting to fall
Am
For revving me up when Im starting to stall
C D
And all in all
G
For that I want you
[Chorus 8]
G
For taking and for giving and for playing the game
Am
For praying for my future in the days that remain
C D
Oh lord
G
For that I hold you
Em
Ah but most of all
D
For cryin out loud
G
For that I love you
Em
Ah but most of all
D
For cryin out loud
G
For that I love you
[Outro]
Em
Ah but most of all
D
For cryin out loud
G
For that I love you
Em D
When you're crying out loud
G
You know I love you
