[Verse]
G G/F#
Oh, I died one night
Em Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
when the sky was a blanket of stars
D D C
And you sounded as clear to me then
D G D D
as I'd heard you in years
G G/F#
As I lowered my eyes
Em Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
understanding the goodbye's that I'd heard
D D C
You just turned away taking your smile
D G G
and those crippling words
[Verse]
G G/F#
Then you blew from my life
Em Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
like the southern wind stealing a flame
D D
'Til all I had left
C D G G D D
were the tears at the drop of your name
G G/F# Em
And I know I'm just foolin' myself
Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
into thinking you care
D D C
Maybe one day I'll rush in
D G G G G
and discover you there
[Chorus]
C D G G
'Cause love is an anchor
C D G G/F# Em
Love is a knife
Em C C Am Am Am Am
Love is the healer in my life
[Verse]
G G/F# Em
Well, I know that it seems like sometimes
Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
I howl at the moon
D D
But it's something that happens when
C D G
loneliness steps in the room
G G/F# Em
Though I know I'm just fooling myself
Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
into thinkin' you care
D D C
One night I'll awake from a dream
D G G
and uncover you there
[Chorus]
C D G G
'Cause love is an anchor
C D G G/F# Em
Love is a knife
Em C C Am Am Am Am
Love is the healer in my life
[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
C Cmaj7/B Am Am G G/F# Em Em
[Verse]
G G/F# Em
Though I know I'm just hurting myse1f
Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
it's a cross I can bear
D
'Cause I died one night
C Cmaj7/B Am Am D
when the sky was a ribbon of stars
G G/F# Em
and you were there
Em/B C Cmaj7/B Am Am
