Intro:
C x2

Chorus:
                D
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
          C
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
               D
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
            C
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward

Verse 1:
D
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
C
    It's never easy, then it hurts
D
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
C
    But we're both moving in reverse

Pre Chorus:
D
 I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
C
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine

Chorus
Verse 2:ttp://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/ron_pope/if_you_were_a_stone.html ]
Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory
Some days I feel you on my skin
We're trading silence
There are words that seem to steal our breath
And I just dream about your lips

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Chorus 2:
                   G
We'd count the stars
                     D
My hands in your leaves
                    C
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
                 D
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
              C
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
