[Verse 2] G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 In the corner, a tall tree, so shady and cool, G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 and a white marble fountain in a clear sparkling pool. [Verse 3] G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 A lovely stone courtyard with a lacy iron gate, G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 and a bountiful garden where I could wait. [Verse 4] G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 Yes, he built me a courtyard like he promised he would, G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 and I know that he'd come to my side, he would if he could. [Outro] G6 Dmaj7 G6 A Patterns on a courtyard floor, illusions of all I'm living for.
