F                       G
I was there to catch a man

                            F
I thought I had him by the hand

                         G
I only had him by the glove


Bridge:  F   G   F   G

Verse:

F                    G
Come on baby, let me in

                          F
You can show yourself to him

                              G
You can show me through the doors


F                          G
And I was there, catching air

                         F
Thought I had him by the hand

                         G
I only had him by the glove


F                      G
We was there, in the road

                          F
Picking diamonds from a tree

                          G
Heard a wolf coming through


F                           G
Coming through and coming hard,

                             F
Tried to leave the heat and gone

                            G
Tried to lean against the wall



Bridge:  F   G   F   G (x2)



Verse:

F                      G
I'll be there, coming clean

                       F
Like a runner in the wind

                             G
Coming through the morning light


F                    G
Rising in, in the stone

                             F
Tried to leave the heat at home

                              G
Running through the morning dim


F                          G
And I was there, to catch a man

                         F
Thought I had him by the hand

                         G
I only had him by the glove


F                      G
Come on baby, let me close

                        F
Let me do my best to both

                       G
Run through but cut close



Bridge:  F   G   F   G


Verse:

F                    G
Come on baby, let me in

                         F
You can show yourself to him

                          G
Ride the road, ride it rough


F                       G
Yeah in the day I was gone,

                             F
Tried to leave the heat at home

                           G
Run through and run the road


F                      G
I was there, coming clean

                      F
Like a runner in the wind

                            G
Coming through the morning light


F                         G
You'll be there, on the floor

                           F
Picking diamonds from a stone

                           G
Looking through the totem pole


Bridge:  F   G   F   G  (x3)
