[Intro]
A    E    F#m     D
A    E    F#m  D  A

[Verse 1]
A          E
Met on the shore
     F#m          D
on a rainy dawn in late November
A           E
'Speak not a word'
    F#m      D        A
was what you wrote to me

[Verse 2]
A             E
Shoes soaked in    sand and a 
F#m          D
heavy coat   around your shoulder
A            E
a bird in the hand
      F#m          D        A
is was what you    gave to me

[Verse 3]
A             E
You stood so    strong and the 
F#m               D
waves beyond were   rolling over
A             E
pulling me    close  
       F#m            D        A
like the moon pulls    on the sea

[Instrumental]
A    E    F#m     D
A    E    F#m  D  A

[Verse 4]
A             E
I want to   ride
     F#m              D
on a road that turns   a thousand corners
A             E
Two beams of light       
F#m     D        A
one for you and me

[Verse 5]
A             E
A house in the hills 
     F#m                     D
and inside   the sound of    nervous laughter
A          E
our bed of white   
F#m       D       A
unmade by you and me

[Verse 6]
A             E
Your body of stone   
       F#m               D
that I touch until it    turns to water
A        E          F#m      D         A
                   was  re - vealed to me

[Instrumental]
A    E    F#m     D
A    E    F#m  D  A

[Verse 7]
A                E
Now I long to    touch your 
F#m               D
tender skin of   alabaster
A            E
Shoulders as white   
       F#m     D         A
as the peaks beyond the sea

[Verse 8]
A             E
Arms in your arms
     F#m               D
and soon the room is    spinning faster
A             E
Eyes in your eyes    
        F#m  D        A
are the only thing I see

[Verse 9]
A             E
Love you so much   
        F#m               D
so the only thing that     you remember
A             E
Is what it's like 
   F#m     D        A
to be in   love with me

[Outro]
A    E    F#m     D
A    E    F#m  D  A
