Intro – B, G#m, E, F#

B
You breathed infinity into my world
G#m
and time was lost up in a cloud and 
in a whirl.
E                                 
                     F#
                B
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth
 and lay there for the night.
               G#m              E
Then you said, "wait for me we'll 
fly the wind,
                 F#                
       E               F#
              B
we'll grow old and you'll be 
stronger without him" but oh,
             G#m                   
now my world is at your feet. I was
               E
 lost and I was found,
                  F#
but I was alive and now I've 
drowned.
G#m    E                         
So now I will be waiting for the 
          B
world to hear my song
                   F#              
so they can tell me I was wrong...
      E, F#

                           G#m
But they weren't there beneath your 
stare,

                             E
and they weren't stripped 'till they
 were bare of
           B                       
any bindings from the world outside
                       F#
 that room.
                G#m
And they weren't taken by the hand
                E
and led through fields of naked land
             B                     
where any pre-conceived ideas were 
     F#
blown away...
      G#m   F#   E
so I couldn't say "no".

B, G#m, E, F#

       B                         
You sighed and I was lost in you, 
       G#m
weeks could've past for all I knew.
E                         
You were the blanket of the 
              F#
over-world and so I couldn't say,
                B                 
I wouldn't say "no". But they all 
G#m            E
said, "you're too young to even 
know,
                F#              E 
just don't let it grow and you'll 
      F#
be stronger without him"
     B          G#m            
but oh, now, my world is at your 
           E
feet. I was lost and I was found,

           F#
but I was alive and now I've 
drowned.
G#m     E                        
So now I will be waiting for the 
   B
world to hear my song
             F#                 E, 
so they can tell me I was wrong...
F#
