[Verse 1]
E
well if heaven could envelope
A
all the saints out on the road
E
and the evil hearts are vanquished
B
and the lambs don't become goats
E
and if every time you'd turn to me
A
you'd be returning home
E B E
i would hold you close and then i'd whisper low
[Chorus 1]
A E
and i'd say baby you're the kindest of them all
A E
but you shouldn't keep your heart behind a wall
A
and if i had the power
E B A
i'd strip the scars right from your soul
E B E
and i'd show you that i love you so you'd know

[Verse 2]
E
there's a carriage in the parking lot
A
sailing with the wind
E
and she knows her van will get it
B
if she doesn't catch the thing
E A
but the vision of disaster so strangely turns to fun
E B E
as she falls in love with a thing that she can't have
[Chorus 2]
A E
and she says baby you're the sweetest of the boys
A E
but you keep yourself distracted with that noise
A
and if i had the power
E B A
i'd give you back your voice
E B E
and i'd pull you up from drowning in the void

[Verse 3]
E A
yes and baby girl i need you you're different from the rest
E B
how i miss your hand resting on my chest
E A
but if i could do it differently i wouldn't change a thing
E B E
it's your heart along with mine that makes me sing
[Chorus 3]
A E
and it sings baby you're the love i'm looking for
A E
but I'm sorry that i had to use the door
A E B
and here's hoping things will change so i can lie with you
A
once more
E B E
and you know your arrow struck me at the core
A E

[Verse 4]
E
well you know i'm sentimental
A
you know that this is right
E B
and i can't forget the things we said that night
E
and if you're ever looking back girl
A
with a longing teary eye
E B E
it's a good bet babe that if you are so am i
