Slow down
D5
You’re breaking up
Am
Use your words
Don’t yell so much
E5* D
I don’t understand a word
F#m* C C/b
That you’re saying
Now move in
Come up close
You look like
You’ve maybe seen a ghost
Tell me
Has someone gotten you baby
E
Now open your arms
C
Pick up your head
D
Open your eyes
So you can see
What happens next
(chorus)
G
You won’t believe
D C
Just how good it can get
G
We’ll make a lover
D C
Out of you yet
The fog is so thick
I can’t see my hands
It got much worse
Soon as I got in
And I know you’re somewhere
Here in th ewater
It’s ten feet deep
And the river won’t stop
I’ll tell you what’s in it
When I make it across
You could make it too
If you let someone help
But you gotta give in
But you gotta let go
Then you can begin
To come up slow
Like a desert rose
(chorus)
Take a deep breath
And hold it in tight
And put your face up
Right into the light
Can’t you feel that full moon
Shining down on you
Help is coming
From the great unknown
Just maybe not
When you need it most
Cause’ I can see you already
Know that you’re leaving
But I wish you’d stay
And just let me in
Cause’ everything can change
But you gotta be ready
Cause’ you won’t know when
(chorus)
