[Intro]
Ab Eb
Ab
Ab
Oh one more time won’t you speak those words I long to hear
F Db Ab
They ring like a melody that lingers in my ear
Db
Now trace those words on your lips the better for to hear
Fm Eb Db
And to which the memory in my mind
Am F Ab
Of a love I only ever hoped to find
Db Ab
Oh one more time won’t you place your hand upon my breast
Db Ab
And feel the heart that beats for you, the heart that knows no rest
Db Eb
The heart that knows you most of all, the heart that loves you best
Fm Eb Db
And broken though it be, goes marching on
Ab
And renders its loving to a song
Fm
Well I an flooded
Db Ab
As a broken down dam
Fm
and I am busted
Db Ab
As the highway man
Db Eb
You hit me on my blindside and you slipped right through my hands
Fm Eb Db
and the fragments flung so far I don’t see how
Ab
I’ll ever get a hold of myself now
[Interlude]
Eb Ab
Eb Db Ab
But there’s so many things I couldn’t bring myself to say
Db Ab
So many little burdens you couldn’t bear to give away
Db Ab
So many obstacles that undermined our strength
Fm Eb Fm
And suddenly the walls came tumbling down
Ab
In the rubble you were nowhere to be found
Db Ab
The hardest part is knowing that circumstances are to blame
Db Eb Ab
The heavy weight of grief, uncertainty and shame
Db Ab Fm Eb Db
They carried us to sea and buried us in the wake and we were battered by a storm too rough to ride
Ab
We washed ashore on opposite sides
Fm Ab
Now I am ruttted as the parched low lands
Fm Ab
And I’ve been gutted like an old tin can
You said one day you’d come to see just how bad I am
Db
But your not bad just for the brokenness and pride
Ab
A little too much hurt for you to hide
[Interlude]
Eb Ab
You will hate me
You will hate me
Bbm Ab
You will hate me soon, you said
Eb Db Ab
And how those words have rattled in my head
Db Eb
And I’ve waited for that moment in longing and in dread
Fm Eb Fm
But I find only the converse to be true
Ab
Every day expands my love for you
Eb
And I hope she brings you comfort
Db Ab
And I hope your love is true
Eb Db Eb
And I hope you are a friend to her as I have been to you
Db Ab
And I hope you have a happy home that brings you life anew
Fm Eb Db
And no bitter regrets now dog your mind
Ab
But do remember me from time to time
Fm
My love is quiet
Db Ab
Still waters run deep
Fm Db Ab
It calms the riot that’s inside me
Db Eb Fm Ab Db
It’s high as the sky, it’s vast as the sea and over time it’ll cut a canyon wide
Ab
And will ferry me across the great divide
