Intro: G Em C G D* C G Verse: G Em C G D* C G When I watch you sleeping there's nothing that you hide G Em C G D* C G When I smell you breathing there's a sweetness from inside G Em C G D* C G And when I feel you stirring and the day is about to break G Em C G D* C Outside wings are worrying and the sky is there to take C G Am I wonder how I got so close to you and see the chances that you take C G D Without thinking I'm going there too these are the promises you make C G D When your eyes are blinded by love and the history a fate Interlude: G Em C G D* C G
Verse: G Em C G D* C G When I hear you purring like a kitten and a lion G Em C G D* C G And I feel your softness how you got it without trying G Em C G D* C G Then you roll and tumble with your dreams still holding on G Em C G D* C And I hear that rumble in the stomach of the dawn C G Am Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears C G D Thinking through my path to you and where I stumbled through the years Solo: G Em C G D* C G G Em C G D* C G Chorus: C G Am Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears C G Thinking through the road I took to you D and how I stumbled through the years C G That's when I knew I'd never hold you down G D Repeating old roads and fears Verse: G Em C G D* C G Now the crows are calling and the blackbirds sing in my ear G Em C G D* C G You got one eye open and I am smiling through my tears G Em C G D* C G But you'll never see them they're inside with my fears G Em C G In a place that's fading away and taking on new years Outro: C G G D C G G D G Em C G D* C G G Em C G
