The Keeper

Am   F
Ooh, ooh

Am
Leaves on the ground
            F
Waiting but there's no sound
Am                                F
Leaves on the ground, waiting but there's no sound
Am                     F
Years go by, layers of love, lust, fire
Am                         F
Ice all around, everything lost and found
(Take me, hold me, save me, keep me safe)
Am                               F
Blankets of dirt, collections of dreams and hurt
(Memories buried lately in this place)

I'll be the warmth when your heart's growing cold
           G       Am
And you're on your own
F                        C
I'll be the compass that points you to north
       G
I will be your keeper

Am   Fm
Ooh, ooh

Am                           F
Sand and stone, struggles to claim and own
(Take my burden, I can't bear the weight)
Am                      F
Wars lost won, promises come undone
(I've been fighting, trying not to break)

I'll be the warmth when your heart's growing cold
           G       Am
And you're on your own
F                        C
I'll be the compass that points you to north
            G              Am
When you're lost along the road
F                       C
I'll be the voice of an old favorite song
       G        Am
Taking you back home
F                        C
I'll be the guard at the top of the tower
       G             Am  F  Am  F
I will be your keeper
