If You Were A Stone

Intro 2x: G D Em C

Chorus:
                G                  
If you were a stone then I'd be the
    D
 rain
          Em                      
Turn you to sand as the time slips 
C
away
               G                   
If you were a tree then I'd be the 
  D
earth
            Em                   
Clutching your roots as you reach 
  C
skyward


Verse 1:
G                D
I am a metaphor for all the things I
 couldn't say
Em                              C
    It's never easy, then it hurts
G                         D
Like scratching diamonds I have 
tried to find my way to you
Em                                 C
    But we're both moving in reverse

Pre Chorus:
G                               
 I wish that we could both find a 
   D
simple way just to make it by
Continues after the ad
Em                                
Right now I'm alright if you're 
      C
just fine

Chorus

Verse 2
Some nights you're a photograph 
fading in my memory
Some days I feel you on my skin
We're trading silence
There are words that seem to steal 
our breath
And I just dream about your lips

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Chorus 2:
                   G
We'd count the stars
                     D
My hands in your leaves
                    Em             
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both
           C
 fell asleep
                 G                 
If you were a stone then I'd be the
   D
 rain,
              Em                   
Turn you to sand as the time slips 
   C
away

Bridge:  (Mute chords early on)
G
I will wait, I will wait, I will 
wait for…
D
I will wait, I will wait, I will 
wait for…
Em                             
I will wait, I will wait, I will 
            C
wait for you

G
I will wait, I will wait, I will 
wait for…
D
I will wait, I will wait, I will 
wait for…
Em                             
I will wait, I will wait, I will 
            C
wait for you

Chorus

Outro:
                 G                 
If you were a stone then I'd be the
    D
 rain,
               Em                   
 C   (End on C)
Turn you to sand as the time slips 
away
