C F
She sits him down in a stiff chair
C F
Rubs his back and strokes his hair
C F
Telling him it's okay to cry
G C
But he just sits and stares
C F
The merciless moon outside
C F
Has nothing now he's come to realize
C F
Only the desolation he feels
G C
The cold distance inside
Chorus
C
But you and I now
F
We can be alright
G
Just hold on to what we know is true
C
You and I now
F
Though it's cold outside
G
Feel the tide turning
same chords as above verses
While the priest just sits and weeps
Lamenting the fact that he can see
Darkness and light in so much detail
He has given himself over
Refusing what he knows to be real
He turns away from every meal
Starving himself of goodness
He doesn't think he can heal
But you and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to what we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
What if I lost all I had
Said the stranger to his dad
And the witness was confused
He can't tell what is bad
Instead he runs up to the nearest girl
And he comments on her glorious curls
Says Darling come with me
I'll show you a whole new world
But you and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to what we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
