Lyrics
First Verse
Spark a match and watch the candle burn
The wick runs out and then love takes its turn
On fallen angels and broken sounds
We will last past the final round
Chorus
C G*
It took a while for you to find me
Am
Because I was hiding in the lime tree
C G*
Above the city in the rain cloud
Am
I poked a hole and watched it drain out
Second Verse
Parallel to the city streets
Our broken crowns beneath our feet
But as we walk across the diamonds
We know that love is always shining
So save me love save me all the time
I'll wash you down with a simple sip of wine
And toast my glass to all my loved ones
To let them know that the stars well they still shine
Chorus (Play this twice)
C G*
It took a while for you to find me
Am
Because I was hiding in the lime tree
C G*
Above the city in the rain cloud
Am
I poked a hole and watched it drain out

version 3
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Capo on 4th fret
This was tabbed off of Trevor Hall's LIVE Acoustic Moboogie Loft Session.
You can easily find it on YouTube. This song is essentially only 4 chords
(C, G, Am & E) but he uses different variations of the chords.
It will sound perfectly fine if you play the song without the added variation
(ie: C, G, Am & E). Trevor also plays two slightly different chorus'.
After the first two verses he plays what I call the 'soft chorus'. Once he begins to
sing loudly, he transitions into playing the 'loud chorus'. The difference is
that you keep your pinky and ring finger down on the 3rd fret of the low e and B
strings throughout the whole chord progression, while only changing your
pointer and middle finger positions. You can hear the difference between the two
because the 'loud chorus' has a much fuller sound.
