I will open up the door,             Knowing what I know,

Ushering you in                    Beyond the blasting wind and snow.

To a second story,                       And an undiscovered land.
Gmaj7/E                         |       Em/C

Cmaj7       Cmaj9/D             |       D7       G     
How yours can break my heart,            appearing limitless,



Em         F#m7(b5)  E                          
And in one kiss will dwell the years
Emaj7(b5)          Ebmaj7                       
When I will be the slave of fate,
Amaj7(no5) Abmaj7  Fm7                          
Trying to slow the setting sun,
D7                  Db                          
If you should be an hour late.
Gmaj7                           |    Cmaj7/E  Em                
I will hear your patient knock,           Muffled by the gale,
Cmaj7        D7                 |             (Cmaj7)   D7       G   
See you from my window,                 Looking resolute and pale,
Gmaj7/E                         |       Em/C

Cmaj7       Cmaj9/D             |       D7       G     
Holding back my eagerness              To drown in your embrace,


Gmaj7                           |    Cmaj7/E  Em 
And when I do, your voice will be    A broken murmur in my ear,
Cmaj7        D7                 |             (Cmaj7)   D7       G   
Saying a thousand things to me.       Each one will mean, β€œThe search ends here.”



A      A/Ab      Gbm            |  Eb7            Abmaj7                |
Up the steep and narrow stair,   We will slowly climb.


C#sus2  Fm7    Dbmaj7           |  Eb7               Abmaj7             ||
