Intro Am F C (x2)

verse 1
Am                F              C
 I never miss you, you're always here
Am                         F         C
 Behind the door or in the rear-view mirror
E            F
How could I, dear?
            C                  G
There is no space, there is no time
           F                Am     F  C
But we are here and you are mine

verse 2
Am                    F       C
 It's Halloween in my old hometown
Am                     F        C
 Mother's quiet in her sleeping gown
         E               F
You're a queen, I'm your clown
         C                     G
Let's go strolling through the town
            F                      C
Through the crowd through whirling lights
        G         Am    F  C
On city nights by blood

Interlude
Am     F  C    G     Am

verse 3
       Am                 F         C
At the end of the day she cries for you
           Am                     F           C
None of my songs or my love or my kisses will do
         E                 F
But that love, that honest love
               C                 G
That makes you wait, that alters fate
        F            C
Can separate or suffocate
         G        Am
But I am yours by blood
       C              G
By the flood or other stuff
   F         C
By grace, by faith
       G
Or the great hand
