Verse 1:
E                 A                        E
You saw it in my face, I couldn't hide it
E                  A
Time made an open space, we stepped inside it
C#m                        A
You saw the better part of me, I let it show through
C#m7                       A
I saw the sweeter part of you, don't ever want to
C#m7       B      E               A      E
  Be the one to throw the first stone?

Verse 2:
E                 A
We made a silent pact never to state it
E                 A
Wisdom after the fact was overrated
C#m7                       A
You took the better part of me, folded it into
C#m7                        A                     C#m7
Into the sweeter part of you, who'd ever want to
C#m7    B      E               A      E
Be the one to throw the first stone?

Verse 3:
E                      A                         E
I thought I knew the rush, nothing prepared me
E                     A
Boy, when it hit me flush, force of it scared me
C#m7                       A
I saw the sweeter part of you, what else could I do?
C#m7                           A
Gave you the beating heart in me, why did you have to
C#m7    B      E               A      E
Be the one to throw the first stone?

Break:
  C#m        F#m         C#m7       B
Unfolding in ways we can scarcely imagine
  C#m        F#m         C#m7       B
Unfolding in ways we can scarcely imagine

Verse 4:
E                 A
Every dumb thing exists gets our attention
E                 A
The angel in our midst goes without mention
C#m7                       A
You took the better part of me, folded it into
C#m7                        A
Into the sweeter part of you, why did you have to
C#m7    B      E               A      E
Be the one to throw the first stone?
